@ -428,6 +428,47 @@ The command can output in the format @var{ofmt} which is either @code{human} or
|
||||
@code{json}. The JSON output is an object of QAPI type @code{ImageInfo}; with
|
||||
@code{--backing-chain}, it is an array of @code{ImageInfo} objects.
|
||||
|
||||
@code{--output=human} reports the following information (for every image in the
|
||||
chain):
|
||||
@table @var
|

@item image
|
||||
The image file name
|
||||
|
||||
@item file format
|
||||
The image format
|
||||
|
||||
@item virtual size
|
||||
The size of the guest disk
|
||||
|
||||
@item disk size
|
||||
How much space the image file occupies on the host file system (may be shown as
|
||||
0 if this information is unavailable, e.g. because there is no file system)
|
||||
|
||||
@item cluster_size
|
||||
Cluster size of the image format, if applicable
|
||||
|
||||
@item encrypted
|
||||
Whether the image is encrypted (only present if so)
|
||||
|
||||
@item cleanly shut down
|
||||
This is shown as @code{no} if the image is dirty and will have to be
|
||||
auto-repaired the next time it is opened in qemu.
|
||||
|
||||
@item backing file
|
||||
The backing file name, if present
|
||||
|
||||
@item backing file format
|
||||
The format of the backing file, if the image enforces it

||||
@item Snapshot list
|
||||
A list of all internal snapshots
|
||||
|
||||
@item Format specific information
|
||||
Further information whose structure depends on the image format. This section
|
||||
is a textual representation of the respective @code{ImageInfoSpecific*} QAPI
|

object (e.g. @code{ImageInfoSpecificQCow2} for qcow2 images).

@end table

@item map [--object @var{objectdef}] [--image-opts] [-f @var{fmt}] [--output=@var{ofmt}] [-U] @var{filename}
