Yes, "tests/qemucapsprobe /path/to/binary >caps.replies". It's mainly
useful for adding data files. It can be used for updating existing ones
in case you still have the binary and can just re-probe it. If you want
to add staff to existing files manually, qemucapsprobe won't help you.
But, Peter is planning to enhance the fake monitor and *.replies data
format so that you don't have to care about ids or order (to some
extent) in which you add the new replies.
