+QEMU Monitor
+------------
+
+The QEMU monitor is used to give complex commands to the QEMU emulator.
+You can use it to:
+
+-  Remove or insert removable media images (such as CD-ROM or
+   floppies).
+
+-  Freeze/unfreeze the Virtual Machine (VM) and save or restore its
+   state from a disk file.
+
+-  Inspect the VM state without an external debugger.
+
+..
+  The commands section goes here once it's converted from Texinfo to RST.
+
+Integer expressions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The monitor understands integers expressions for every integer argument.
+You can use register names to get the value of specifics CPU registers
+by prefixing them with *$*.
