[Qemu-block] [PATCH] qemu-img: Make resize error message more general


From: Max Reitz
Subject: [Qemu-block] [PATCH] qemu-img: Make resize error message more general
Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2018 17:27:45 +0100

The issue:

  $ qemu-img resize -f qcow2 foo.qcow2
  qemu-img: Expecting one image file name
  Try 'qemu-img --help' for more information

So we gave an image file name, but we omitted the length.  qemu-img
thinks the last argument is always the size and removes it immediately
from argv (by decrementing argc), and tries to verify that it is a valid
size only at a later point.

So we do not actually know whether that last argument we called "size"
is indeed a size or whether the user instead forgot to specify that size
but did give a file name.

Therefore, the error message should be more general.
