[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#812727: vmdebootstrap: better document SIZE setting

Package: vmdebootstrap
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: minor
The vmdebootstrap man page does not explain what units size is in or what
unit suffixes are allowed. It appears it's just passing the setting to
qemu-img directly, so maybe it should refer to that man page or just
provide a summary (or both). Here is what qemu-img(1) says:
size
is the disk image size in bytes. Optional suffixes "k" or "K"
(kilobyte, 1024) "M" (megabyte, 1024k) and "G" (gigabyte, 1024M)
and T (terabyte, 1024G) are supported. "b" is ignored.
So maybe it could say something like
--size=SIZE
create a disk image of size SIZE, in bytes (suffixes k,K,M,G,T
are supported, see qemu-img(1) for more detail). (Default 1G)
Thanks,
