-name string    set the name of the guest

Network options:

-net nic[,vlan=n][,macaddr=addr][,model=type]

                create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN 'n'

-net user[,vlan=n][,hostname=host]

                connect the user mode network stack to VLAN 'n' and send

                hostname 'host' to DHCP clients

-net tap[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file][,downscript=dfile]

                connect the host TAP network interface to VLAN 'n' and use the

                network scripts 'file' (default=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup)

                and 'dfile' (default=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown);

                use '[down]script=no' to disable script execution;

                use 'fd=h' to connect to an already opened TAP interface

-net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port]

                connect the vlan 'n' to another VLAN using a socket connection

-net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port]

                connect the vlan 'n' to multicast maddr and port

-net none       use it alone to have zero network devices; if no -net option

                is provided, the default is '-net nic -net user'

-tftp dir       allow tftp access to files in dir [-net user]

-bootp file     advertise file in BOOTP replies

-smb dir        allow SMB access to files in 'dir' [-net user]

-redir [tcp|udp]:host-port:[guest-host]:guest-port

Linux boot specific:

-kernel bzImage use 'bzImage' as kernel image

-append cmdline use 'cmdline' as kernel command line

-initrd file    use 'file' as initial ram disk

Debug/Expert options:

-monitor dev    redirect the monitor to char device 'dev'

-serial dev     redirect the serial port to char device 'dev'

-parallel dev   redirect the parallel port to char device 'dev'

-pidfile file   Write PID to 'file'

-S              freeze CPU at startup (use 'c' to start execution)

-s              wait gdb connection to port

-p port         set gdb connection port [default=1234]

-d item1,...    output log to /tmp/qemu.log (use -d ? for a list of log items)

-hdachs c,h,s[,t]  force hard disk 0 physical geometry and the optional BIOS

                translation (t=none or lba) (usually qemu can guess them)

-L path         set the directory for the BIOS, VGA BIOS and keymaps

-no-kvm         disable KVM hardware virtualization

-no-kvm-irqchip disable KVM kernel mode PIC/IOAPIC/LAPIC

-vnc display    start a VNC server on display

-daemonize      daemonize QEMU after initializing

-tdf            inject timer interrupts that got lost

-kvm-shadow-memory megs set the amount of shadow pages to be allocated

-mem-path       set the path to hugetlbfs/tmpfs mounted directory, also enables allocation of guest memory with huge pages

-option-rom rom load a file, rom, into the option ROM space

-clock          force the use of the given methods for timer alarm.

                To see what timers are available use -clock ?

-startdate      select initial date of the clock

-icount [N|auto]

                Enable virtual instruction counter with 2^N clock ticks per instruction

During emulation, the following keys are useful:

ctrl-alt-f      toggle full screen

ctrl-alt-n      switch to virtual console 'n'

ctrl-alt        toggle mouse and keyboard grab

When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.
