Subject: [PULL 1/2] ui: Print available display backends with '-display help'
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2020 11:01:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200114100125.31604-2-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200114100125.31604-1-kraxel@redhat.com>

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

We already print availabled devices with "-device help", or available
backends with "-netdev help" or "-chardev help". Let's provide a way
for the users to query the available display backends, too.
