Subject: [PATCH] qapi: Improve input_type_enum()'s error message
Date: Mon, 11 Oct 2021 15:15:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211011131558.3273255-1-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)

The error message claims the parameter is invalid:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -object qom-type=nonexistent
    qemu-system-x86_64: -object qom-type=nonexistent: Invalid parameter 'nonexistent'

What's wrong is actually the *value* 'nonexistent'.  Improve the
message to

    qemu-system-x86_64: -object qom-type=nonexistent: Parameter 'qom-type' does not accept value 'nonexistent'
