When a command fails due to incorrect syntax or input,
suggest using the "help" command to get more information
about the command. This is only applicable for HMP.
Before:
(qemu) drive_add usb_flash_drive
drive_add: string expected
After:
(qemu) drive_add usb_flash_drive
drive_add: string expected
Try "help drive_add" for more information
