Store the QEMU process PID in @var{file}. It is useful if you launch QEMU
from a script.
+@item -daemonize
+Daemonize the QEMU process after initialization. QEMU will not detach from
+standard IO until it is ready to receive connections on any of its devices.
+This option is a useful way for external programs to launch QEMU without having
+to cope with initialization race conditions.
