[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] qemu-img: show help for invalid global options

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

The qemu-img sub-command executes regardless of invalid global options:

  $ qemu-img --foo info test.img
  qemu-img: unrecognized option '--foo'
  image: test.img
  ...

The unrecognized option warning may be missed by the user.  This can
hide incorrect command-lines in scripts and confuse users.

This patch prints the help information and terminates instead of
executing the sub-command.
