I did a "man qemu" and searched for hostfwd, it was at the end of the
first paragraph:
hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:[hostaddr]:hostport-[guestaddr]:guestport
Redirect incoming TCP or UDP connections to the host port
hostport to the guest IP address guestaddr on guest port
guestport. If guestaddr is not specified, its value is x.x.x.15
(default first address given by the built-in DHCP server). By
specifying hostaddr, the rule can be bound to a specific host
interface. If no connection type is set, TCP is used. This
option can not be given multiple times, but multiple rules may
be combined.
Looks like it grabbed the xubuntu 10.04 (current LTS) man page, which is
wrong. The one in the qemu source is correct, but wasn't built by
"make" or installed by "make install". (It built when I explicitlly
said make qemu.1 though. Go figure.)
*shrug* Never underestimate ubuntu's ability to subtly break qemu, this
is the... fourth different way I've noticed them doing that? (I dunno
why they keep fiddling with it. Thought installing qemu from source
also installed the man page, which would be in the search path before
the distro version. My bad...)
