Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.0+20070816-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The '-usbdevice' parameter format isn't described:
% man qemu | grep -nA 1 usbdevice
180: -usbdevice devname
181- Add the USB device devname.
I had to search online to learn about it, maybe this bug can save
other users time.
Suggested revision:
-usbdevice host:[vendor_ID]:[product_ID]
Example, lsusb(1) describes a printer:
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:1504 Hewlett-Packard
DeskJet 920c
To use it with 'qemu':
qemu -usb -usbdevice host:03f0:1504 [foo.iso ...etc.]
If not that text, then something like that would be good. An example
is needed, because otherwise it's unclear that "host:" is an invariant
prefix and NOT a variable parameter.
Hope this helps...
