  59 +\fBqemu-mkcow\fR [\fB-h\fP] [\fB-f \fImaster_disk_image\fR\fP] [\fIcow_image\fR] [\fB\fIcow_size\fR\fP]
  60 +.SH "DESCRIPTION"
  61 +.PP
  62 +The \fBqemu-mkcow\fR command creates a
  63 +persistent copy-on-write file for \fBqemu\fR.
  64 +
  65 +.PP
  66 +\fBqemu\fR can be used in a "copy-on-write" mode,
  67 +where changes made by \fBqemu\fR do not actually
  68 +change the disk image file. One way is to invoke
  69 +\fBqemu\fR with -snapshot: these changes
  70 +are stored in a temporary file, which is discarded when
  71 +\fBqemu\fR exits.
  72 +
  73 +.PP
  74 +\fBqemu-mkcow\fR creates an explicit copy-on-write
  75 +file where changes are to be stored: this way, changes made
  76 +inside \fBqemu\fR will still be there next time you
  77 +run it, although the master disk image isn't ever changed.
  78 +
  79 +.PP
  80 +The usual method is to create the master image, then create a
  81 +copy-on-write file using \fBqemu-mkcow\fR with
  82 +\fB-f\fP. The filename of the master image is stored
  83 +inside the generated copy-on-write file: it must not be modified
  84 +after this is run!
  85 +
  86 +.PP
  87 +If no master file is specified, the effect is that of a
  88 +blank master of size \fIcow_size\fR.
