Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> writes: > qmp-intro.txt is quite small and provides very little information > that isn't already in the documentation elsewhere. Fold the example > command lines into qemu-options.hx, and delete the now-unneeded plain > text document. A friendly introduction can be worth some redundancy. But I can't see how to fit it into our greater doc framework, and standalone plaintext documents likely isn't where someone in need of a friendly intro would look for one.
