> On the other hand, QEMU is this huge piece of software with documentation scattered all over the web and no man pages. My frequent resource: https://manpage

  I've got several man pages for qemu (FreeBSD 13.0, qemu-5.0.1) $ apropos qemu qemu(1) - QEMU User Documentation qemu-img(1) - QEMU disk image utility vdeq, vdekvm, vdeqemu(1) - Virtual Distributed Ethernet wrapper for QEMU/KVM virtual machines qemu-block-drivers(7) - QEMU block drivers reference qemu-cpu-models(7) - QEMU CPU Models qemu-ga-ref(7) - QEMU Guest Agent Protocol Reference qemu-qmp-ref(7) - QEMU QMP Reference Manual qemu-ga(8) - QEMU Guest Agent qemu-nbd(8) - QEMU Disk Network Block Device Server OTOH, there's no manpage for qemu-system-X, so maybe that's the confusion. Also, >the pw man page is much scarier than NetBSD’s useradd. FreeBSD has an adduser(8), which is a bit more friendly than pw.

    >which is a bit more friendly than pw. pw is one of those that i wish had a --dryrun type option enabled by default and required a --doit switch. this was brought up a few days ago, and i really like the idea of scary commands using the dry run as a default.

  I think what they mean is that the manpage you link is just synopsis of command line options and not anything that help understand what happens with QEMU and how to fix it when something goes wrong.
