From 822cfe3e4813c8f52199362b0e689fba9459ddc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Raspl Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 12:25:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tools/kvm_stat: suppress usage information on command line errors Errors while parsing the '-g' command line argument result in display of usage information prior to the error message. This is a bit confusing, as the command line is syntactically correct. To reproduce, run 'kvm_stat -g' and specify a non-existing or inactive guest.
