[Bug 1731277] Re: Provide target specific qemu man pages

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to another 
system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be 
closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to "Incomplete" now.
If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch the state 
back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report will be marked as 
"Expired". Or mark it as "Fix Released" if the problem has been solved with a 
newer version of QEMU already. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  Provide target specific qemu man pages

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Right now, all qemu target binaries (qemu-system-...) share the same
  man page.

  The current man page is primarily focused on x86, and therefore the
  information given is entirely wrong for e.g. arm, powerpc or s390x.

  NAME
         qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation

  SYNOPSIS
         qemu-system-i386 [options] [disk_image]

  DESCRIPTION
         The QEMU PC System emulator simulates the following peripherals:

         -   i440FX host PCI bridge and PIIX3 PCI to ISA bridge

         -   Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA card or dummy VGA card with Bochs VESA 
extensions (hardware level, including all non
             standard modes).

         -   PS/2 mouse and keyboard

         -   2 PCI IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support

         -   Floppy disk

  ...

  We should have target specific man pages, with the common
  options/settings factored out, so they are included in all target
  specific man pages.

  "man qemu-system-s390x" should give s390x specific (+common)
  information and "man qemu-system-x86_64" should contain x86 specific
  (+common) information.
