[libvirt-users] SIGTERM signal to qemu-kvm process

Hi I am using QEMU 0.12.1 as the hypervisor in my RHEL installation of 6.5. I wanted to know if there are any side-effects with respect to VM image corruption when i use SIGTERM signal to kill a qemu-kvm process which effectively stops my VM running on the host. Appreciate if you can provide me some valuable information in this regard. Thanks Jatin
