Similar to sub-command help, I tink it reads better as
" -h|--help\n"
" display this help and exit\n"
"\n"
" -V|--version\n"
" display version info and exit\n"
"\n"
" -T|--trace TRACE\n"

Basically as an end result we get
qemu-img version 8.2.50 (v8.2.0-1219-g51870ffcbb)
Copyright (c) 2003-2023 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers
QEMU disk image utility
usage: qemu-img [standard options] command [--help | command options]
Standard options:
-h|--help
display this help and exit
-V|--version
display version info and exit
-T|--trace TRACE
specify tracing options:
[[enable=]<pattern>][,events=<file>][,file=<file>]
Recognized commands (run qemu-img command --help for command-specific help):
amend - Update format-specific options of the image
bench - Run simple image benchmark
bitmap - Perform modifications of the persistent bitmap in the image
check - Check basic image integrity
commit - Commit image to its backing file
compare - Check if two images have the same contents
convert - Copy one image to another with optional format conversion
create - Create and format new image file
dd - Copy input to output with optional format conversion
info - Display information about image
map - Dump image metadata
measure - Calculate file size requred for a new image
rebase - Change backing file of the image
resize - Resize the image to the new size
snapshot - List or manipulate snapshots within image
Supported image formats:
blkdebug blklogwrites blkverify bochs cloop compress copy-before-write
copy-on-read dmg file ftp ftps gluster host_cdrom host_device http
https io_uring iscsi iser luks nbd nfs null-aio null-co nvme nvme-io_uring
parallels preallocate qcow qcow2 qed quorum raw rbd replication
snapshot-access
ssh throttle vdi vhdx virtio-blk-vfio-pci virtio-blk-vhost-user
virtio-blk-vhost-vdpa
vmdk vpc vvfat
