Bug Description
hi
the man page that I get by
# man qemu-system-arm
is the same as the man page
# man qemu-system-i386
and both starts with
> SYNOPSIS
> qemu-system-i386 [options] [disk_image]
so it seems that the man page for qemu-system-arm is missing ; this is not good, e.g. the explanation of the cmdline switch -machine for i386 is unusable for arm
thanks
a.

Hello Andrea and thanks for this bug report. A similar bug has been filed in Debian back in 2013:
https:/ /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 714275
and tagged as wontfix. AIUI the problem is that arch-specific manpages do not exist for all the archs, and the qemu-system-ARCH manpages basically provide usage examples using i386 (and, in newer releases, x86_64). This is unlikely to be fixed in Ubuntu.
