[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] qemu-img.texi: Provide more info on some commands’ output |

Most qemu-img subcommands that have (optional) JSON output don’t
describe the structure of their JSON output -- but having a fixed,
well-known output structure kind of is the point of having JSON output
at all. Therefore, patch 1 in this series makes every such command note
which QAPI type their JSON output has in the qemu-img man page. (The
exception to this is the map subcommand, which does not emit a
QAPI-typed object. It already has a description of the structure of its
output object, though.)
That should be enough to thoroughly explain the machine-readable output.
But we can also do better for the human-readable output: qemu-img info
emits quite a bit of information, and not all of it is self-explanatory.
In patch 2, I’ve tried to provide some potentially missing explanation.
