That's a heavy sledgehammer, that has the potential to affect a lot of other programs called alongside qemu-img. Simpler would be to just pass -- in the command line at the point where you want to force qemu to treat all further arguments without getopt reordering them, as in: > # XXX(hch): have global image options? > - $QEMU_IMG create -f $IMGFMT $TEST_IMG $extra_img_options | \ > + $QEMU_IMG create -f $IMGFMT $extra_img_options $TEST_IMG $image_size | \ $QEMU_IMG -- create -f $IMGFMT $extra_img_options $TEST_IMG $image_size -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
