HXCOMM Use DEFHEADING() to define headings in both help text and texi
HXCOMM Text between STEXI and ETEXI are copied to texi version and
HXCOMM discarded from C version
HXCOMM DEF(command, args, callback, arg_string, help) is used to construct
HXCOMM monitor commands
HXCOMM HXCOMM can be used for comments, discarded from both texi and C

STEXI
@item commit
@findex commit
Commit changes to the disk images (if -snapshot is used) or backing files.
If the backing file is smaller than the snapshot, then the backing file will be
resized to be the same size as the snapshot. If the snapshot is smaller than
the backing file, the backing file will not be truncated. If you want the
backing file to match the size of the smaller snapshot, you can safely truncate
it yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

@item block_resize
@findex block_resize
Resize a block image while a guest is running. Usually requires guest
action to see the updated size. Resize to a lower size is supported,
but should be used with extreme caution. Note that this command only
resizes image files, it can not resize block devices like LVM volumes.

STEXI
@item drive_del @var{device}
@findex drive_del
Remove host block device. The result is that guest generated IO is no longer
submitted against the host device underlying the disk. Once a drive has
been deleted, the QEMU Block layer returns -EIO which results in IO
errors in the guest for applications that are reading/writing to the device.
These errors are always reported to the guest, regardless of the drive's error
actions (drive options rerror, werror).

Change the medium for a removable disk device to point to @var{filename}. eg
@example
(qemu) change ide1-cd0 /path/to/some.iso
@end example
@var{format} is optional.
@var{read-only-mode} may be used to change the read-only status of the device.
It accepts the following values:
@table @var
@item retain
Retains the current status; this is the default.
@item read-only
Makes the device read-only.
@item read-write
Makes the device writable.
@end table
@item change vnc @var{display},@var{options}
Change the configuration of the VNC server. The valid syntax for @var{display}
and @var{options} are described at @ref{sec_invocation}. eg
@example
(qemu) change vnc localhost:1
@end example
@item change vnc password [@var{password}]
Change the password associated with the VNC server. If the new password is not
supplied, the monitor will prompt for it to be entered. VNC passwords are only
significant up to 8 letters. eg
@example
(qemu) change vnc password
Password: ********

Read and print up to @var{size} bytes from ring buffer character
device @var{device}.
Certain non-printable characters are printed \uXXXX, where XXXX is the
character code in hexadecimal. Character \ is printed \\.
Bug: can screw up when the buffer contains invalid UTF-8 sequences,
NUL characters, after the ring buffer lost data, and when reading
stops because the size limit is reached.
