+.. option:: amend [--object OBJECTDEF] [--image-opts] [-p] [-q] [-f FMT] [-t CACHE] [--force] -o OPTIONS FILENAME
Amends the image format specific *OPTIONS* for the image file
*FILENAME*. Not all file formats support this operation.
+ The set of options that can be amended are dependent on the image
+ format, but note that amending the backing chain relationship should
+ instead be performed with ``qemu-img rebase``.
+
+ --force allows some unsafe operations. Currently for -f luks, it allows to
+ erase the last encryption key, and to overwrite an active encryption key.

Run a simple sequential I/O benchmark on the specified image. If ``-w`` is
For write tests, by default a buffer filled with zeros is written. This can be
overridden with a pattern byte specified by *PATTERN*.
+.. option:: bitmap (--merge SOURCE | --add | --remove | --clear | --enable | --disable)... [-b SOURCE_FILE [-F SOURCE_FMT]] [-g GRANULARITY] [--object OBJECTDEF] [--image-opts | -f FMT] FILENAME BITMAP
+
+ Perform one or more modifications of the persistent bitmap *BITMAP*
+ in the disk image *FILENAME*. The various modifications are:
+
+ ``--add`` to create *BITMAP*, enabled to record future edits.
+
+ ``--remove`` to remove *BITMAP*.
+
+ ``--clear`` to clear *BITMAP*.
+
+ ``--enable`` to change *BITMAP* to start recording future edits.
+
+ ``--disable`` to change *BITMAP* to stop recording future edits.
+
+ ``--merge`` to merge the contents of the *SOURCE* bitmap into *BITMAP*.
+
+ Additional options include ``-g`` which sets a non-default
+ *GRANULARITY* for ``--add``, and ``-b`` and ``-F`` which select an
+ alternative source file for all *SOURCE* bitmaps used by
+ ``--merge``.
+
+ To see what bitmaps are present in an image, use ``qemu-img info``.
+
.. option:: check [--object OBJECTDEF] [--image-opts] [-q] [-f FMT] [--output=OFMT] [-r [leaks | all]] [-T SRC_CACHE] [-U] FILENAME
