Hi, This is a compilation of patches I have to improve command line help support. The "qemu-option" patches have already been sent earlier, I modified the first to fix an issue reported by Markus. The other patches add support for -object help. A few related patches for QOM, to fix/improve some minor issues.
v2: after Eric Blake review - add "qdev-monitor: print help to stdout" - add "cutils: add qemu_pstrcmp" - use consistently "arg=type - desc" help format Marc-André Lureau (12): qdev-monitor: print help to stdout cutils: add qemu_pstrcmp qemu-option: add help fallback to print the list of options qemu-option: improve qemu_opts_print_help() output qom/object: fix iterating properties over a class qom/object: register 'type' property as class property tests/qom-proplist: check duplicate "bv" property registration failed tests/qom-proplist: check properties are not listed multiple times tests/qom-proplist: check class properties iterator vl: handle -object help hostmem: add some properties description vl: list user creatable properties when 'help' is argument include/monitor/monitor.h | 2 ++ include/qemu/cutils.h | 12 +++++++ backends/hostmem-memfd.c | 9 +++++ backends/hostmem.c | 14 ++++++++ monitor.c | 16 +++++++-- qdev-monitor.c | 32 ++++++++++------- qom/object.c | 9 ++--- qom/object_interfaces.c | 6 ++-- tests/check-qom-proplist.c | 58 ++++++++++++++++++++----------- util/cutils.c | 5 +++ util/qemu-option.c | 71 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- vl.c | 53 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 12 files changed, 227 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) -- 2.19.0.rc1
