[Qemu-devel] [PULL 35/42] qemu-img: Document check exit codes


From: Stefan Hajnoczi
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PULL 35/42] qemu-img: Document check exit codes
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 18:13:56 +0200

From: Max Reitz <address@hidden>

The exit code 63 (check not supported by image format) was not even
documented in the comment above the check command in the source code;
add it, as it does indeed seem useful.

Also, document all of check's exit codes in the manpage.

+In case the image does not have any inconsistencies, check exits with @code{0}.
