QEMU QMP reference
******************

1 API Reference
***************

1.1 Introduction
================

This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.

Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user
Monitor, this means that any other document which also describe
commands (the manpage, QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.

QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular
commands usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while
query commands just return information. The sections below are divided
accordingly.

It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted
in a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand.
However, in real protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.

Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:

Example:

-> data issued by the Client

<- Server data response

Please, refer to the QMP specification (docs/interop/qmp-spec.txt) for
detailed information on the Server command and response formats.

1.2 Stability Considerations
============================

The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.

These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU
releases and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly
defined commands.

If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:

  1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon,
     please check the documentation of each used command as soon as a
     new release of QEMU is available

  2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented

  3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT
     check for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly
     recommended to only check for the "error" key)

1.3 Common data types
=====================

 -- Enum: QapiErrorClass
     QEMU error classes

     Values:
    `GenericError'
          this is used for errors that don't require a specific error
          class. This should be the default case for most errors

    `CommandNotFound'
          the requested command has not been found

    `DeviceNotActive'
          a device has failed to be become active

    `DeviceNotFound'
          the requested device has not been found

    `KVMMissingCap'
          the requested operation can't be fulfilled because a required
          KVM capability is missing

     Since: 1.2


 -- Enum: IoOperationType
     An enumeration of the I/O operation types

     Values:
    `read'
          read operation

 -- Enum: OnOffAuto
     An enumeration of three options: on, off, and auto

     Values:

     pointer in C).  Intended for cases when 'optional absent' already
     has a different meaning.

     Members:
    `s: string'
          the string value

    `n: null'
          no string value

     Since: 2.10


 -- Enum: OffAutoPCIBAR
     An enumeration of options for specifying a PCI BAR

     Values:

     ppcemb: dropped in 3.1

     Since: 3.0


1.4 Socket data types
=====================

 -- Enum: NetworkAddressFamily
     The network address family

 -- Object: InetSocketAddressBase
     Members:
    `host: string'
          host part of the address

    `port: string'
          port part of the address


 -- Object: InetSocketAddress
     Captures a socket address or address range in the Internet
     namespace.

     Members:
    `numeric: boolean' (optional)
          true if the host/port are guaranteed to be numeric, false if
          name resolution should be attempted. Defaults to false.
          (Since 2.9)

    `to: int' (optional)
          If present, this is range of possible addresses, with port
          between `port' and `to'.

    `ipv4: boolean' (optional)
          whether to accept IPv4 addresses, default try both IPv4 and
          IPv6

    `ipv6: boolean' (optional)
          whether to accept IPv6 addresses, default try both IPv4 and
          IPv6

    The members of `InetSocketAddressBase'

     Since: 1.3


 -- Object: UnixSocketAddress
     Captures a socket address in the local ("Unix socket") namespace.

     Members:
    `path: string'
          filesystem path to use

     Since: 1.3


 -- Object: VsockSocketAddress
     Captures a socket address in the vsock namespace.

     Members:
    `cid: string'
          unique host identifier

    `port: string'
          port

     Note: string types are used to allow for possible future hostname
     or service resolution support.

     Since: 2.8


 -- Object: SocketAddressLegacy
     Captures the address of a socket, which could also be a named file
     descriptor

     Members:

    `data: UnixSocketAddress' when `type' is "unix"

    `data: VsockSocketAddress' when `type' is "vsock"

    `data: String' when `type' is "fd"

     Note: This type is deprecated in favor of SocketAddress.  The
     difference between SocketAddressLegacy and SocketAddress is that
     the latter is a flat union rather than a simple union. Flat is
     nicer because it avoids nesting on the wire, i.e. that form has
     fewer {}.

          descriptor name.  Named file descriptors are permitted in
          monitor commands, in combination with the 'getfd' command.
          Decimal file descriptors are permitted at startup or other
          contexts where no monitor context is active.

     Since: 2.9


 -- Object: SocketAddress
     Captures the address of a socket, which could also be a named file
     descriptor

    `finish-migrate'
          guest is paused to finish the migration process

    `inmigrate'
          guest is paused waiting for an incoming migration.  Note that
          this state does not tell whether the machine will start at the
          end of the migration.  This depends on the command-line -S
          option and any invocation of 'stop' or 'cont' that has
          happened since QEMU was started.

    `internal-error'
          An internal error that prevents further guest execution has
          occurred

    `io-error'
          the last IOP has failed and the device is configured to pause
          on I/O errors

    `paused'
          guest has been paused via the 'stop' command

    `postmigrate'
          guest is paused following a successful 'migrate'

    `save-vm'
          guest is paused to save the VM state

    `shutdown'
          guest is shut down (and -no-shutdown is in use)

    `suspended'
          guest is suspended (ACPI S3)

    `watchdog'
          the watchdog action is configured to pause and has been
          triggered

    `guest-panicked'
          guest has been panicked as a result of guest OS panic

    `colo'
          guest is paused to save/restore VM state under colo
          checkpoint, VM can not get into this state unless colo
          capability is enabled for migration. (since 2.8)

    `preconfig'
          QEMU is paused before board specific init callback is
          executed.  The state is reachable only if the -preconfig CLI

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "query-status" }
     <- { "return": { "running": true,
                      "singlestep": false,
                      "status": "running" } }


 -- Event:  SHUTDOWN
     Emitted when the virtual machine has shut down, indicating that
     qemu is about to exit.

     Arguments:
    `guest: boolean'
          If true, the shutdown was triggered by a guest request (such
          as a guest-initiated ACPI shutdown request or other
          hardware-specific action) rather than a host request (such as
          sending qemu a SIGINT). (since 2.10)

     Note: If the command-line option "-no-shutdown" has been
     specified, qemu will not exit, and a STOP event will eventually
     follow the SHUTDOWN event

 -- Event:  RESET
     Emitted when the virtual machine is reset

     Arguments:
    `guest: boolean'
          If true, the reset was triggered by a guest request (such as
          a guest-initiated ACPI reboot request or other
          hardware-specific action) rather than a host request (such as
          the QMP command system_reset).  (since 2.10)

     Since: 0.12.0

     Example:
     <- { "event": "RESET", "data": { "guest": false },

 -- Event:  SUSPEND
     Emitted when guest enters a hardware suspension state, for
     example, S3 state, which is sometimes called standby state

     Since: 1.1

     Example:
     <- { "event": "SUSPEND",
          "timestamp": { "seconds": 1344456160, "microseconds": 309119 } }


 -- Event:  SUSPEND_DISK
     Emitted when guest enters a hardware suspension state with data
     saved on disk, for example, S4 state, which is sometimes called
     hibernate state

     Note: QEMU shuts down (similar to event `SHUTDOWN') when entering
     this state

     Since: 1.2

     Example:
     <-   { "event": "SUSPEND_DISK",
            "timestamp": { "seconds": 1344456160, "microseconds": 309119 } }


 -- Event:  WAKEUP
     Emitted when the guest has woken up from suspend state and is
     running

     Since: 1.1

     Example:
     <- { "event": "WAKEUP",
          "timestamp": { "seconds": 1344522075, "microseconds": 745528 } }


 -- Event:  WATCHDOG
     Emitted when the watchdog device's timer is expired

     Arguments:
    `action: WatchdogAction'
          action that has been taken

     Note: If action is "reset", "shutdown", or "pause" the WATCHDOG
     event is followed respectively by the RESET, SHUTDOWN, or STOP
     events

     Note: This event is rate-limited.

     Since: 0.13.0

     Example:
     <- { "event": "WATCHDOG",
          "data": { "action": "reset" },
          "timestamp": { "seconds": 1267061043, "microseconds": 959568 } }

     timer is expired

     Values:
    `reset'
          system resets

1.7.1 Block core (VM unrelated)
-------------------------------

1.7.2 Background jobs
---------------------

 -- Enum: JobType
     Type of a background job.

     Values:
    `commit'
          block commit job type, see "block-commit"

    `stream'
          block stream job type, see "block-stream"

    `mirror'
          drive mirror job type, see "drive-mirror"

    `backup'
          drive backup job type, see "drive-backup"

    `create'
          image creation job type, see "blockdev-create" (since 3.0)

     Since: 1.7


 -- Enum: JobStatus
     Indicates the present state of a given job in its lifetime.

     Values:
    `undefined'
          Erroneous, default state. Should not ever be visible.

    `created'
          The job has been created, but not yet started.

    `running'
          The job is currently running.

    `paused'
          The job is running, but paused. The pause may be requested by
          either the QMP user or by internal processes.

    `ready'
          The job is running, but is ready for the user to signal
          completion.  This is used for long-running jobs like mirror
          that are designed to run indefinitely.

    `standby'
          The job is ready, but paused. This is nearly identical to
          `paused'.  The job may return to `ready' or otherwise be
          canceled.

    `waiting'
          The job is waiting for other jobs in the transaction to
          converge to the waiting state. This status will likely not be
          visible for the last job in a transaction.

    `pending'
          The job has finished its work, but has finalization steps
          that it needs to make prior to completing. These changes will
          require manual intervention via `job-finalize' if
          auto-finalize was set to false. These pending changes may
          still fail.

    `aborting'
          The job is in the process of being aborted, and will finish
          with an error. The job will afterwards report that it is
          `concluded'.  This status may not be visible to the
          management process.

    `concluded'
          The job has finished all work. If auto-dismiss was set to
          false, the job will remain in the query list until it is
          dismissed via `job-dismiss'.

    `null'
          The job is in the process of being dismantled. This state
          should not ever be visible externally.

     Since: 2.12


 -- Enum: JobVerb

 -- Event:  JOB_STATUS_CHANGE
     Emitted when a job transitions to a different status.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier

    `status: JobStatus'
          The new job status

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  job-pause
     Pause an active job.

     This command returns immediately after marking the active job for
     pausing.  Pausing an already paused job is an error.

     The job will pause as soon as possible, which means transitioning
     into the PAUSED state if it was RUNNING, or into STANDBY if it was
     READY. The corresponding JOB_STATUS_CHANGE event will be emitted.

     Cancelling a paused job automatically resumes it.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier.

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  job-resume
     Resume a paused job.

     This command returns immediately after resuming a paused job.
     Resuming an already running job is an error.

     `id' : The job identifier.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          Not documented

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  job-cancel
     Instruct an active background job to cancel at the next
     opportunity.  This command returns immediately after marking the
     active job for cancellation.

     The job will cancel as soon as possible and then emit a
     JOB_STATUS_CHANGE event. Usually, the status will change to
     ABORTING, but it is possible that a job successfully completes
     (e.g. because it was almost done and there was no opportunity to
     cancel earlier than completing the job) and transitions to PENDING
     instead.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier.

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  job-complete
     Manually trigger completion of an active job in the READY state.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier.

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  job-dismiss
     Deletes a job that is in the CONCLUDED state. This command only
     needs to be run explicitly for jobs that don't have automatic
     dismiss enabled.

     This command will refuse to operate on any job that has not yet
     reached its terminal state, JOB_STATUS_CONCLUDED. For jobs that
     make use of JOB_READY event, job-cancel or job-complete will still
     need to be used as appropriate.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier.

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  job-finalize
     Instructs all jobs in a transaction (or a single job if it is not
     part of any transaction) to finalize any graph changes and do any
     necessary cleanup. This command requires that all involved jobs
     are in the PENDING state.

     For jobs in a transaction, instructing one job to finalize will
     force ALL jobs in the transaction to finalize, so it is only
     necessary to instruct a single member job to finalize.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The identifier of any job in the transaction, or of a job
          that is not part of any transaction.

     Since: 3.0


 -- Object: JobInfo
     Information about a job.

     Members:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier

    `type: JobType'
          The kind of job that is being performed

    `status: JobStatus'
          Current job state/status

    `current-progress: int'
          Progress made until now. The unit is arbitrary and the value
          can only meaningfully be used for the ratio of
          `current-progress' to `total-progress'. The value is
          monotonically increasing.

    `total-progress: int'
          Estimated `current-progress' value at the completion of the
          job. This value can arbitrarily change while the job is
          running, in both directions.

    `error: string' (optional)
          If this field is present, the job failed; if it is still
          missing in the CONCLUDED state, this indicates successful
          completion.

          The value is a human-readable error message to describe the
          reason for the job failure. It should not be parsed by
          applications.

     Since: 3.0

 -- Object: BlockMeasureInfo
     Image file size calculation information.  This structure describes
     the size requirements for creating a new image file.

     The size requirements depend on the new image file format.  File
     size always equals virtual disk size for the 'raw' format, even
     for sparse POSIX files.  Compact formats such as 'qcow2' represent
     unallocated and zero regions efficiently so file size may be
     smaller than virtual disk size.

     The values are upper bounds that are guaranteed to fit the new
     image file.  Subsequent modification, such as internal snapshot or
     bitmap creation, may require additional space and is not covered
     here.

     Members:
    `required: int'
          Size required for a new image file, in bytes.

    `fully-allocated: int'

          BLOCK_JOB_ERROR)

    `enospc'
          same as `stop' on ENOSPC, same as `report' otherwise.

    `stop'
          for guest operations, stop the virtual machine; for jobs,
          pause the job

    `target: string'
          the device name or node-name of the backup target node.

    `sync: MirrorSyncMode'
          what parts of the disk image should be copied to the
          destination (all the disk, only the sectors allocated in the
          topmost image, or only new I/O).

    `speed: int' (optional)
          the maximum speed, in bytes per second. The default is 0, for
          unlimited.

    `bitmap: string' (optional)
          the name of dirty bitmap if sync is "incremental".  Must be
          present if sync is "incremental", must NOT be present
          otherwise. (Since 3.1)

    `compress: boolean' (optional)
          true to compress data, if the target format supports it.
          (default: false) (since 2.8)

    `on-source-error: BlockdevOnError' (optional)
          the action to take on an error on the source, default
          'report'.  'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used if the block
          device supports io-status (see BlockInfo).

    `on-target-error: BlockdevOnError' (optional)
          the action to take on an error on the target, default
          'report' (no limitations, since this applies to a different
          block device than `device').

    `auto-finalize: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a PENDING state after it has
          finished its work, waiting for `block-job-finalize' before
          making any block graph changes.  When true, this job will
          automatically perform its abort or commit actions.  Defaults
          to true. (Since 2.12)

    `auto-dismiss: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a CONCLUDED state after it
          has completely ceased all work, and awaits
          `block-job-dismiss'.  When true, this job will automatically
          disappear from the query list without user intervention.
          Defaults to true. (Since 2.12)

     Note: `on-source-error' and `on-target-error' only affect
     background I/O.  If an error occurs during a guest write request,
     the device's rerror/werror actions will be used.

 -- Command:  blockdev-snapshot-sync
     Generates a synchronous snapshot of a block device.

     For the arguments, see the documentation of BlockdevSnapshotSync.

     Returns: nothing on success If `device' is not a valid block
     device, DeviceNotFound

     Since: 0.14.0

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "blockdev-snapshot-sync",
          "arguments": { "device": "ide-hd0",
                         "snapshot-file":
                         "/some/place/my-image",
                         "format": "qcow2" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  blockdev-snapshot
     Generates a snapshot of a block device.

     Create a snapshot, by installing 'node' as the backing image of
     'overlay'. Additionally, if 'node' is associated with a block
     device, the block device changes to using 'overlay' as its new
     active image.

     For the arguments, see the documentation of BlockdevSnapshot.

     Since: 2.5

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "blockdev-add",
          "arguments": { "driver": "qcow2",
                         "node-name": "node1534",
                         "file": { "driver": "file",
                                   "filename": "hd1.qcow2" },
                         "backing": null } }

     <- { "return": {} }

     -> { "execute": "blockdev-snapshot",
          "arguments": { "node": "ide-hd0",
                         "overlay": "node1534" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  change-backing-file
     Change the backing file in the image file metadata.  This does not
     cause QEMU to reopen the image file to reparse the backing filename
     (it may, however, perform a reopen to change permissions from r/o
     -> r/w -> r/o, if needed). The new backing file string is written
     into the image file metadata, and the QEMU internal strings are
     updated.

     Arguments:
    `image-node-name: string'
          The name of the block driver state node of the image to
          modify. The "device" argument is used to verify
          "image-node-name" is in the chain described by "device".

    `device: string'
          The device name or node-name of the root node that owns
          image-node-name.

    `backing-file: string'
          The string to write as the backing file.  This string is not
          validated, so care should be taken when specifying the string
          or the image chain may not be able to be reopened again.

     Returns: Nothing on success

     If "device" does not exist or cannot be determined, DeviceNotFound

     Since: 2.1


 -- Command:  block-commit
     Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes -
     i.e., writes data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.

     Arguments:
    `job-id: string' (optional)
          identifier for the newly-created block job. If omitted, the
          device name will be used. (Since 2.7)

    `device: string'
          the device name or node-name of a root node

    `base-node: string' (optional)
          The node name of the backing image to write data into.  If
          not specified, this is the deepest backing image.  (since:
          3.1)

    `base: string' (optional)
          Same as `base-node', except that it is a file name rather
          than a node name. This must be the exact filename string that
          was used to open the node; other strings, even if addressing
          the same file, are not accepted (deprecated, use `base-node'
          instead)

    `top-node: string' (optional)
          The node name of the backing image within the image chain
          which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If not
          specified, this is the active layer. (since: 3.1)

    `top: string' (optional)
          Same as `top-node', except that it is a file name rather than
          a node name. This must be the exact filename string that was
          used to open the node; other strings, even if addressing the
          same file, are not accepted (deprecated, use `base-node'
          instead)

    `backing-file: string' (optional)
          The backing file string to write into the overlay image of
          'top'.  If 'top' is the active layer, specifying a backing
          file string is an error. This filename is not validated.

          If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
          QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
          node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
          methods will fail.

          If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
          backing file string to use, or error out if there is no
          obvious choice. Care should be taken when specifying the
          string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.  (Since 2.1)

          If top == base, that is an error.  If top == active, the job
          will not be completed by itself, user needs to complete the
          job with the block-job-complete command after getting the
          ready event. (Since 2.0)

          If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
          will be resized to be the same size as top.  If top is
          smaller than the base image, the base will not be truncated.
          If you want the base image size to match the size of the
          smaller top, you can safely truncate it yourself once the
          commit operation successfully completes.

    `speed: int' (optional)
          the maximum speed, in bytes per second

    `filter-node-name: string' (optional)
          the node name that should be assigned to the filter driver
          that the commit job inserts into the graph above `top'. If
          this option is not given, a node name is autogenerated.
          (Since: 2.9)

    `auto-finalize: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a PENDING state after it has
          finished its work, waiting for `block-job-finalize' before
          making any block graph changes.  When true, this job will
          automatically perform its abort or commit actions.  Defaults
          to true. (Since 3.1)

    `auto-dismiss: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a CONCLUDED state after it
          has completely ceased all work, and awaits
          `block-job-dismiss'.  When true, this job will automatically
          disappear from the query list without user intervention.
          Defaults to true. (Since 3.1)

     Returns: Nothing on success If `device' does not exist,
     DeviceNotFound Any other error returns a GenericError.

     Since: 1.3

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "block-commit",
          "arguments": { "device": "virtio0",
                         "top": "/tmp/snap1.qcow2" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  drive-backup
     Start a point-in-time copy of a block device to a new destination.
     The status of ongoing drive-backup operations can be checked with
     query-block-jobs where the BlockJobInfo.type field has the value
     'backup'.  The operation can be stopped before it has completed
     using the block-job-cancel command.

 -- Command:  drive-mirror
     Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination.
     target specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists,

          created.

    `format: string' (optional)
          the format of the new destination, default is to probe if
          `mode' is 'existing', else the format of the source

    `granularity: int' (optional)
          granularity of the dirty bitmap, default is 64K if the image
          format doesn't have clusters, 4K if the clusters are smaller
          than that, else the cluster size.  Must be a power of 2
          between 512 and 64M (since 1.4).

    `buf-size: int' (optional)
          maximum amount of data in flight from source to target (since
          1.4).

    `on-source-error: BlockdevOnError' (optional)
          the action to take on an error on the source, default
          'report'.  'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used if the block

    `unmap: boolean' (optional)
          Whether to try to unmap target sectors where source has only
          zero. If true, and target unallocated sectors will read as
          zero, target image sectors will be unmapped; otherwise,

          topmost image, or only new I/O).

    `granularity: int' (optional)
          granularity of the dirty bitmap, default is 64K if the image
          format doesn't have clusters, 4K if the clusters are smaller
          than that, else the cluster size.  Must be a power of 2
          between 512 and 64M

    `on-source-error: BlockdevOnError' (optional)
          the action to take on an error on the source, default
          'report'.  'stop' and 'enospc' can only be used if the block
          device supports io-status (see BlockInfo).

    `on-target-error: BlockdevOnError' (optional)
          the action to take on an error on the target, default
          'report' (no limitations, since this applies to a different
          block device than `device').

    `filter-node-name: string' (optional)
          the node name that should be assigned to the filter driver
          that the mirror job inserts into the graph above `device'. If
          this option is not given, a node name is autogenerated.
          (Since: 2.9)

    `copy-mode: MirrorCopyMode' (optional)
          when to copy data to the destination; defaults to 'background'

    `auto-finalize: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a PENDING state after it has
          finished its work, waiting for `block-job-finalize' before
          making any block graph changes.  When true, this job will
          automatically perform its abort or commit actions.  Defaults
          to true. (Since 3.1)

    `auto-dismiss: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a CONCLUDED state after it
          has completely ceased all work, and awaits
          `block-job-dismiss'.  When true, this job will automatically
          disappear from the query list without user intervention.
          Defaults to true. (Since 3.1)

     Returns: nothing on success.

     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  block_set_io_throttle
     Change I/O throttle limits for a block drive.

     Since QEMU 2.4, each device with I/O limits is member of a throttle
     group.

     If two or more devices are members of the same group, the limits
     will apply to the combined I/O of the whole group in a round-robin
     fashion. Therefore, setting new I/O limits to a device will affect
     the whole group.

     The name of the group can be specified using the 'group' parameter.
     If the parameter is unset, it is assumed to be the current group of
     that device. If it's not in any group yet, the name of the device
     will be used as the name for its group.

     The 'group' parameter can also be used to move a device to a
     different group. In this case the limits specified in the
     parameters will be applied to the new group only.

     I/O limits can be disabled by setting all of them to 0. In this
     case the device will be removed from its group and the rest of its
     members will not be affected. The 'group' parameter is ignored.

     Arguments: the members of `BlockIOThrottle'

     Returns: Nothing on success If `device' is not a valid block
     device, DeviceNotFound

 -- Command:  block-stream
     Copy data from a backing file into a block device.

     The block streaming operation is performed in the background until
     the entire backing file has been copied.  This command returns
     immediately once streaming has started.  The status of ongoing
     block streaming operations can be checked with query-block-jobs.
     The operation can be stopped before it has completed using the
     block-job-cancel command.

     The node that receives the data is called the top image, can be
     located in any part of the chain (but always above the base image;
     see below) and can be specified using its device or node name.
     Earlier qemu versions only allowed 'device' to name the top level
     node; presence of the 'base-node' parameter during introspection
     can be used as a witness of the enhanced semantics of 'device'.

     If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that
     base file and its backing chain.  When streaming completes the
     image file will have the base file as its backing file.  This can
     be used to stream a subset of the backing file chain instead of
     flattening the entire image.

     On successful completion the image file is updated to drop the
     backing file and the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event is emitted.

     Arguments:
    `job-id: string' (optional)
          identifier for the newly-created block job. If omitted, the
          device name will be used. (Since 2.7)

    `device: string'
          the device or node name of the top image

    `base: string' (optional)
          the common backing file name.  It cannot be set if
          `base-node' is also set.

    `base-node: string' (optional)
          the node name of the backing file.  It cannot be set if
          `base' is also set. (Since 2.8)

    `backing-file: string' (optional)
          The backing file string to write into the top image. This
          filename is not validated.

          If a pathname string is such that it cannot be resolved by
          QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or HMP commands must use
          node-names for the image in question, as filename lookup
          methods will fail.

          If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine the
          backing file string to use, or error out if there is no
          obvious choice.  Care should be taken when specifying the
          string, to specify a valid filename or protocol.  (Since 2.1)

    `speed: int' (optional)
          the maximum speed, in bytes per second

    `on-error: BlockdevOnError' (optional)
          the action to take on an error (default report).  'stop' and
          'enospc' can only be used if the block device supports
          io-status (see BlockInfo).  Since 1.3.

    `auto-finalize: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a PENDING state after it has
          finished its work, waiting for `block-job-finalize' before
          making any block graph changes.  When true, this job will
          automatically perform its abort or commit actions.  Defaults
          to true. (Since 3.1)

    `auto-dismiss: boolean' (optional)
          When false, this job will wait in a CONCLUDED state after it
          has completely ceased all work, and awaits
          `block-job-dismiss'.  When true, this job will automatically
          disappear from the query list without user intervention.
          Defaults to true. (Since 3.1)

     Returns: Nothing on success. If `device' does not exist,
     DeviceNotFound.

     Since: 1.1

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "block-stream",
          "arguments": { "device": "virtio0",
                         "base": "/tmp/master.qcow2" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  block-job-set-speed
     Set maximum speed for a background block operation.

     This command can only be issued when there is an active block job.

     Throttling can be disabled by setting the speed to 0.

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          The job identifier. This used to be a device name (hence the
          name of the parameter), but since QEMU 2.7 it can have other
          values.

    `speed: int'
          the maximum speed, in bytes per second, or 0 for unlimited.
          Defaults to 0.

     Returns: Nothing on success If no background operation is active
     on this device, DeviceNotActive

     Since: 1.1


 -- Command:  block-job-cancel
     Stop an active background block operation.

     This command returns immediately after marking the active
     background block operation for cancellation.  It is an error to
     call this command if no operation is in progress.

     The operation will cancel as soon as possible and then emit the
     BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event.  Before that happens the job is still
     visible when enumerated using query-block-jobs.

     Note that if you issue 'block-job-cancel' after 'drive-mirror' has
     indicated (via the event BLOCK_JOB_READY) that the source and
     destination are synchronized, then the event triggered by this
     command changes to BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED, to indicate that the
     mirroring has ended and the destination now has a point-in-time
     copy tied to the time of the cancellation.

     For streaming, the image file retains its backing file unless the
     streaming operation happens to complete just as it is being
     cancelled.  A new streaming operation can be started at a later
     time to finish copying all data from the backing file.

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          The job identifier. This used to be a device name (hence the
          name of the parameter), but since QEMU 2.7 it can have other
          values.

    `force: boolean' (optional)
          If true, and the job has already emitted the event
          BLOCK_JOB_READY, abandon the job immediately (even if it is
          paused) instead of waiting for the destination to complete
          its final synchronization (since 1.3)

     Returns: Nothing on success If no background operation is active
     on this device, DeviceNotActive

     Since: 1.1


 -- Command:  block-job-pause
     Pause an active background block operation.

     This command returns immediately after marking the active
     background block operation for pausing.  It is an error to call
     this command if no operation is in progress or if the job is
     already paused.

     The operation will pause as soon as possible.  No event is emitted
     when the operation is actually paused.  Cancelling a paused job
     automatically resumes it.

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          The job identifier. This used to be a device name (hence the
          name of the parameter), but since QEMU 2.7 it can have other
          values.

     Returns: Nothing on success If no background operation is active
     on this device, DeviceNotActive

     Since: 1.3


 -- Command:  block-job-resume
     Resume an active background block operation.

     This command returns immediately after resuming a paused
     background block operation.  It is an error to call this command
     if no operation is in progress or if the job is not paused.

     This command also clears the error status of the job.

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          The job identifier. This used to be a device name (hence the
          name of the parameter), but since QEMU 2.7 it can have other
          values.

     Returns: Nothing on success If no background operation is active
     on this device, DeviceNotActive

     Since: 1.3


 -- Command:  block-job-complete
     Manually trigger completion of an active background block
     operation.  This is supported for drive mirroring, where it also
     switches the device to write to the target path only.  The ability
     to complete is signaled with a BLOCK_JOB_READY event.

     This command completes an active background block operation
     synchronously.  The ordering of this command's return with the
     BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event is not defined.  Note that if an I/O
     error occurs during the processing of this command: 1) the command
     itself will fail; 2) the error will be processed according to the
     rerror/werror arguments that were specified when starting the
     operation.

     A cancelled or paused job cannot be completed.

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          The job identifier. This used to be a device name (hence the
          name of the parameter), but since QEMU 2.7 it can have other
          values.

     Returns: Nothing on success If no background operation is active
     on this device, DeviceNotActive

     Since: 1.3


 -- Command:  block-job-dismiss
     For jobs that have already concluded, remove them from the
     block-job-query list. This command only needs to be run for jobs
     which were started with QEMU 2.12+ job lifetime management
     semantics.

     This command will refuse to operate on any job that has not yet
     reached its terminal state, JOB_STATUS_CONCLUDED. For jobs that
     make use of the BLOCK_JOB_READY event, block-job-cancel or
     block-job-complete will still need to be used as appropriate.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier.

     Returns: Nothing on success

     Since: 2.12


 -- Command:  block-job-finalize
     Once a job that has manual=true reaches the pending state, it can
     be instructed to finalize any graph changes and do any necessary
     cleanup via this command.  For jobs in a transaction, instructing
     one job to finalize will force ALL jobs in the transaction to
     finalize, so it is only necessary to instruct a single member job
     to finalize.

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          The job identifier.

     Returns: Nothing on success

     Since: 2.12

          string means that no block device should be referenced.
          Deprecated; use null instead.

    `null: null'
          No block device should be referenced (since 2.10)

     Since: 2.9


 -- Command:  blockdev-add
     Creates a new block device. If the `id' option is given at the top
     level, a BlockBackend will be created; otherwise, `node-name' is
     mandatory at the top level and no BlockBackend will be created.

     Arguments: the members of `BlockdevOptions'

 -- Command:  blockdev-create
     Starts a job to create an image format on a given node. The job is
     automatically finalized, but a manual job-dismiss is required.

     Arguments:
    `job-id: string'
          Identifier for the newly created job.

    `options: BlockdevCreateOptions'
          Options for the image creation.

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  blockdev-open-tray
     Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree
     inserted as a medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest
     (but it will remain associated to the block device, so closing the
     tray will make it accessible again).

     If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.

     Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There
     are cases in which no such event will be generated, these include:
        - if the guest has locked the tray, `force' is false and the
          guest does not respond to the eject request

        - if the BlockBackend denoted by `device' does not have a guest
          device attached to it

        - if the guest device does not have an actual tray

     Arguments:
    `device: string' (optional)
          Block device name (deprecated, use `id' instead)

    `id: string' (optional)
          The name or QOM path of the guest device (since: 2.8)

    `force: boolean' (optional)
          if false (the default), an eject request will be sent to the
          guest if it has locked the tray (and the tray will not be
          opened immediately); if true, the tray will be opened
          regardless of whether it is locked

 -- Command:  blockdev-close-tray
     Closes a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state
     tree associated with the block device (which is currently
     ejected), that tree will be loaded as the medium.

     If the tray was already closed before, this will be a no-op.

     Arguments:
    `device: string' (optional)
          Block device name (deprecated, use `id' instead)

 -- Command:  blockdev-remove-medium
     Removes a medium (a block driver state tree) from a block device.

 -- Command:  blockdev-change-medium
     Changes the medium inserted into a block device by ejecting the
     current medium and loading a new image file which is inserted as
     the new medium (this command combines blockdev-open-tray,

 -- Enum: BlockErrorAction
     An enumeration of action that has been taken when a DISK I/O occurs

     Values:
    `ignore'
          error has been ignored

          error caused VM to be stopped

     Since: 2.1


 -- Event:  BLOCK_IMAGE_CORRUPTED
     Emitted when a disk image is being marked corrupt. The image can be
     identified by its device or node name. The 'device' field is always
     present for compatibility reasons, but it can be empty ("") if the
     image does not have a device name associated.

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          device name. This is always present for compatibility
          reasons, but it can be empty ("") if the image does not have
          a device name associated.

    `node-name: string' (optional)
          node name (Since: 2.4)

    `msg: string'
          informative message for human consumption, such as the kind of
          corruption being detected. It should not be parsed by machine
          as it is not guaranteed to be stable

    `offset: int' (optional)
          if the corruption resulted from an image access, this is the
          host's access offset into the image

    `size: int' (optional)
          if the corruption resulted from an image access, this is the
          access size

    `fatal: boolean'
          if set, the image is marked corrupt and therefore unusable
          after this event and must be repaired (Since 2.2; before,
          every BLOCK_IMAGE_CORRUPTED event was fatal)

     Note: If action is "stop", a STOP event will eventually follow the
     BLOCK_IO_ERROR event.

     Example:
     <- { "event": "BLOCK_IMAGE_CORRUPTED",
          "data": { "device": "ide0-hd0", "node-name": "node0",

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          device name. This is always present for compatibility
          reasons, but it can be empty ("") if the image does not have
          a device name associated.

    `node-name: string' (optional)
          node name. Note that errors may be reported for the root node
          that is directly attached to a guest device rather than for
          the node where the error occurred. The node name is not
          present if the drive is empty. (Since: 2.8)

    `operation: IoOperationType'
          I/O operation

    `action: BlockErrorAction'
          action that has been taken

    `nospace: boolean' (optional)
          true if I/O error was caused due to a no-space condition.
          This key is only present if query-block's io-status is
          present, please see query-block documentation for more
          information (since: 2.2)

    `reason: string'
          human readable string describing the error cause.  (This
          field is a debugging aid for humans, it should not be parsed
          by applications) (since: 2.2)

     Note: If action is "stop", a STOP event will eventually follow the
     BLOCK_IO_ERROR event

     Since: 0.13.0

          than that streaming has failed and clients should not try to
          interpret the error string

     Since: 1.1

     Example:
     <- { "event": "BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED",
          "data": { "type": "stream", "device": "virtio-disk0",
                    "len": 10737418240, "offset": 10737418240,

    `operation: IoOperationType'
          I/O operation

    `action: BlockErrorAction'
          action that has been taken

     Since: 1.3

     Example:

                    "operation": "write",
                    "action": "stop" },
          "timestamp": { "seconds": 1265044230, "microseconds": 450486 } }

     Arguments:
    `type: JobType'
          job type

    `device: string'

          rate limit, bytes per second

     Note: The "ready to complete" status is always reset by a
     `BLOCK_JOB_ERROR' event

     Since: 1.3

     Example:
     <- { "event": "BLOCK_JOB_READY",
          "data": { "device": "drive0", "type": "mirror", "speed": 0,
                    "len": 2097152, "offset": 2097152 }
          "timestamp": { "seconds": 1265044230, "microseconds": 450486 } }


 -- Event:  BLOCK_JOB_PENDING
     Emitted when a block job is awaiting explicit authorization to
     finalize graph changes via `block-job-finalize'. If this job is
     part of a transaction, it will not emit this event until the
     transaction has converged first.

     Arguments:
    `type: JobType'
          job type

    `id: string'
          The job identifier.

     Since: 2.12

     Example:
     <- { "event": "BLOCK_JOB_WAITING",
          "data": { "device": "drive0", "type": "mirror" },
          "timestamp": { "seconds": 1265044230, "microseconds": 450486 } }


 -- Enum: PreallocMode
     Preallocation mode of QEMU image file

    `off'
          no preallocation

    `metadata'
          preallocate only for metadata

    `falloc'
          like `full' preallocation but allocate disk space by
          posix_fallocate() rather than writing zeros.

    `full'
          preallocate all data by writing zeros to device to ensure disk
          space is really available. `full' preallocation also sets up
          metadata correctly.

     Since: 2.2


 -- Event:  BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD
     Emitted when writes on block device reaches or exceeds the
     configured write threshold. For thin-provisioned devices, this
     means the device should be extended to avoid pausing for disk
     exhaustion.  The event is one shot. Once triggered, it needs to be
     re-registered with another block-set-write-threshold command.

     Arguments:
    `node-name: string'
          graph node name on which the threshold was exceeded.

    `amount-exceeded: int'
          amount of data which exceeded the threshold, in bytes.

    `write-threshold: int'
          last configured threshold, in bytes.

     Since: 2.3


 -- Command:  block-set-write-threshold
     Change the write threshold for a block drive. An event will be
     delivered if a write to this block drive crosses the configured
     threshold.  The threshold is an offset, thus must be non-negative.
     Default is no write threshold. Setting the threshold to zero
     disables it.

     This is useful to transparently resize thin-provisioned drives
     without the guest OS noticing.

     Arguments:
    `node-name: string'
          graph node name on which the threshold must be set.

    `write-threshold: int'
          configured threshold for the block device, bytes.  Use 0 to
          disable the threshold.

     Since: 2.3

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "block-set-write-threshold",
          "arguments": { "node-name": "mydev",
                         "write-threshold": 17179869184 } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  x-blockdev-change
     Dynamically reconfigure the block driver state graph. It can be
     used to add, remove, insert or replace a graph node. Currently
     only the Quorum driver implements this feature to add or remove
     its child. This is useful to fix a broken quorum child.

     If `node' is specified, it will be inserted under `parent'. `child'
     may not be specified in this case. If both `parent' and `child' are
     specified but `node' is not, `child' will be detached from
     `parent'.

     Arguments:
    `parent: string'
          the id or name of the parent node.

    `child: string' (optional)
          the name of a child under the given parent node.

    `node: string' (optional)
          the name of the node that will be added.

     Note: this command is experimental, and its API is not stable. It
     does not support all kinds of operations, all kinds of children,
     nor all block drivers.

     FIXME Removing children from a quorum node means introducing gaps
     in the child indices. This cannot be represented in the 'children'
     list of BlockdevOptionsQuorum, as returned by
     .bdrv_refresh_filename().

     Warning: The data in a new quorum child MUST be consistent with
     that of the rest of the array.

     Since: 2.7

     Example:
     1. Add a new node to a quorum
     -> { "execute": "blockdev-add",
          "arguments": {
              "driver": "raw",
              "node-name": "new_node",
              "file": { "driver": "file",
                        "filename": "test.raw" } } }
     <- { "return": {} }
     -> { "execute": "x-blockdev-change",
          "arguments": { "parent": "disk1",
                         "node": "new_node" } }
     <- { "return": {} }

     2. Delete a quorum's node
     -> { "execute": "x-blockdev-change",
          "arguments": { "parent": "disk1",
                         "child": "children.1" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  x-blockdev-set-iothread
     Move `node' and its children into the `iothread'.  If `iothread'
     is null then move `node' and its children into the main loop.

     The node must not be attached to a BlockBackend.

     Arguments:
    `node-name: string'
          the name of the block driver node

    `iothread: StrOrNull'
          the name of the IOThread object or null for the main loop

    `force: boolean' (optional)
          true if the node and its children should be moved when a
          BlockBackend is already attached

     Note: this command is experimental and intended for test cases
     that need control over IOThreads only.

     Since: 2.12

     Example:
     1. Move a node into an IOThread
     -> { "execute": "x-blockdev-set-iothread",
          "arguments": { "node-name": "disk1",
                         "iothread": "iothread0" } }
     <- { "return": {} }

     2. Move a node into the main loop
     -> { "execute": "x-blockdev-set-iothread",
          "arguments": { "node-name": "disk1",
                         "iothread": null } }
     <- { "return": {} }


1.7.3 Additional block stuff (VM related)
-----------------------------------------

 -- Enum: BiosAtaTranslation
     Policy that BIOS should use to interpret cylinder/head/sector
     addresses.  Note that Bochs BIOS and SeaBIOS will not actually
     translate logical CHS to physical; instead, they will use logical
     block addressing.

     Values:
    `auto'
          If cylinder/heads/sizes are passed, choose between none and
          LBA depending on the size of the disk.  If they are not
          passed, choose none if QEMU can guess that the disk had 16 or
          fewer heads, large if QEMU can guess that the disk had 131072
          or fewer tracks across all heads (i.e.
          cylinders*heads<131072), otherwise LBA.

    `none'
          The physical disk geometry is equal to the logical geometry.

    `lba'
          Assume 63 sectors per track and one of 16, 32, 64, 128 or 255
          heads (if fewer than 255 are enough to cover the whole disk
          with 1024 cylinders/head).  The number of cylinders/head is
          then computed based on the number of sectors and heads.

    `large'
          The number of cylinders per head is scaled down to 1024 by
          correspondingly scaling up the number of heads.

    `rechs'
          Same as `large', but first convert a 16-head geometry to
          15-head, by proportionally scaling up the number of
          cylinders/head.

     Since: 2.0


 -- Enum: FloppyDriveType

          snapshot from

    `name: string'
          the name of the internal snapshot to be created

     Notes: In transaction, if `name' is empty, or any snapshot
     matching `name' exists, the operation will fail. Only some image
     formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd, and sheepdog.

     Since: 1.7


 -- Object: PRManagerInfo
     Information about a persistent reservation manager

     Members:
    `id: string'
          the identifier of the persistent reservation manager

    `connected: boolean'
          true if the persistent reservation manager is connected to
          the underlying storage or helper

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  query-pr-managers
     Returns a list of information about each persistent reservation
     manager.

     Returns: a list of `PRManagerInfo' for each persistent reservation
     manager

     Since: 3.0


 -- Command:  blockdev-snapshot-internal-sync
     Synchronously take an internal snapshot of a block device, when the
     format of the image used supports it. If the name is an empty
     string, or a snapshot with name already exists, the operation will
     fail.

     For the arguments, see the documentation of
     BlockdevSnapshotInternal.

     Returns: nothing on success

     If `device' is not a valid block device, GenericError

     If any snapshot matching `name' exists, or `name' is empty,
     GenericError

     'sysrq' was mistakenly added to hack around the fact that the ps2
     driver was not generating correct scancodes sequences when
     'alt+print' was pressed. This flaw is now fixed and the 'sysrq'
     key serves no further purpose. Any further use of 'sysrq' will be
     transparently changed to 'print', so they are effectively synonyms.

     Send input event(s) to guest.

     Arguments:
    `device: string' (optional)
          display device to send event(s) to.

    `head: int' (optional)

     of the same kind are added to the virtual machine and (b) you have
     configured input routing (see docs/multiseat.txt) for those input
     devices.  The parameters work exactly like the device and head
     properties of input devices.  If `device' is missing, only devices
     that have no input routing config are admissible.  If `device' is
     specified, both input devices with and without input routing config
     are admissible, but devices with input routing config take
     precedence.

 -- Enum: MigrationCapability
     Migration capabilities enumeration

     Values:
    `xbzrle'
          Migration supports xbzrle (Xor Based Zero Run Length
          Encoding).  This feature allows us to minimize migration
          traffic for certain work loads, by sending compressed
          difference of the pages

    `rdma-pin-all'
          Controls whether or not the entire VM memory footprint is
          mlock()'d on demand or all at once. Refer to docs/rdma.txt
          for usage.  Disabled by default. (since 2.0)

    `zero-blocks'
          During storage migration encode blocks of zeroes efficiently.
          This essentially saves 1MB of zeroes per block on the wire.
          Enabling requires source and target VM to support this
          feature. To enable it is sufficient to enable the capability
          on the source VM. The feature is disabled by default. (since
          1.6)

    `compress'
          Use multiple compression threads to accelerate live migration.
          This feature can help to reduce the migration traffic, by
          sending compressed pages. Please note that if compress and
          xbzrle are both on, compress only takes effect in the ram
          bulk stage, after that, it will be disabled and only xbzrle
          takes effect, this can help to minimize migration traffic.
          The feature is disabled by default.  (since 2.4 )

    `events'
          generate events for each migration state change (since 2.4 )

    `auto-converge'
          If enabled, QEMU will automatically throttle down the guest
          to speed up convergence of RAM migration. (since 1.6)

    `postcopy-ram'
          Start executing on the migration target before all of RAM has
          been migrated, pulling the remaining pages along as needed.
          The capacity must have the same setting on both source and
          target or migration will not even start. NOTE: If the
          migration fails during postcopy the VM will fail.  (since 2.6)

    `x-colo'
          If enabled, migration will never end, and the state of the VM
          on the primary side will be migrated continuously to the VM
          on secondary side, this process is called COarse-Grain LOck
          Stepping (COLO) for Non-stop Service. (since 2.8)

    `release-ram'
          if enabled, qemu will free the migrated ram pages on the
          source during postcopy-ram migration. (since 2.9)

    `block'
          If enabled, QEMU will also migrate the contents of all block
          devices.  Default is disabled.  A possible alternative uses
          mirror jobs to a builtin NBD server on the destination, which
          offers more flexibility.  (Since 2.10)

    `return-path'
          If enabled, migration will use the return path even for
          precopy. (since 2.10)

    `pause-before-switchover'
          Pause outgoing migration before serialising device state and
          before disabling block IO (since 2.11)

    `x-multifd'
          Use more than one fd for migration (since 2.11)

    `dirty-bitmaps'
          If enabled, QEMU will migrate named dirty bitmaps.  (since
          2.12)

    `postcopy-blocktime'
          Calculate downtime for postcopy live migration (since 3.0)

    `late-block-activate'
          If enabled, the destination will not activate block devices
          (and thus take locks) immediately at the end of migration.
          (since 3.0)

        ]}


 -- Enum: MigrationParameter
     Migration parameters enumeration

     Values:
    `compress-level'
          Set the compression level to be used in live migration, the
          compression level is an integer between 0 and 9, where 0 means
          no compression, 1 means the best compression speed, and 9
          means best compression ratio which will consume more CPU.

    `compress-threads'
          Set compression thread count to be used in live migration,
          the compression thread count is an integer between 1 and 255.

    `compress-wait-thread'
          Controls behavior when all compression threads are currently
          busy. If true (default), wait for a free compression thread
          to become available; otherwise, send the page uncompressed.
          (Since 3.1)

    `decompress-threads'
          Set decompression thread count to be used in live migration,
          the decompression thread count is an integer between 1 and
          255. Usually, decompression is at least 4 times as fast as
          compression, so set the decompress-threads to the number
          about 1/4 of compress-threads is adequate.

    `cpu-throttle-initial'
          Initial percentage of time guest cpus are throttled when
          migration auto-converge is activated. The default value is
          20. (Since 2.7)

    `cpu-throttle-increment'
          throttle percentage increase each time auto-converge detects
          that migration is not making progress. The default value is
          10. (Since 2.7)

    `tls-creds'
          ID of the 'tls-creds' object that provides credentials for
          establishing a TLS connection over the migration data channel.
          On the outgoing side of the migration, the credentials must
          be for a 'client' endpoint, while for the incoming side the
          credentials must be for a 'server' endpoint. Setting this
          will enable TLS for all migrations. The default is unset,
          resulting in unsecured migration at the QEMU level. (Since
          2.7)

    `tls-hostname'
          hostname of the target host for the migration. This is
          required when using x509 based TLS credentials and the
          migration URI does not already include a hostname. For
          example if using fd: or exec: based migration, the hostname
          must be provided so that the server's x509 certificate
          identity can be validated. (Since 2.7)

    `max-bandwidth'

          periodic mode. (Since 2.8)

    `block-incremental'
          Affects how much storage is migrated when the block migration
          capability is enabled.  When false, the entire storage
          backing chain is migrated into a flattened image at the
          destination; when true, only the active qcow2 layer is
          migrated and the destination must already have access to the
          same backing chain as was used on the source.  (since 2.10)

    `x-multifd-channels'
          Number of channels used to migrate data in parallel. This is
          the same number that the number of sockets used for
          migration.  The default value is 2 (since 2.11)

    `x-multifd-page-count'
          Number of pages sent together to a thread.  The default value
          is 16 (since 2.11)

    `xbzrle-cache-size'
          cache size to be used by XBZRLE migration.  It needs to be a
          multiple of the target page size and a power of 2 (Since 2.11)

          credentials must be for a 'client' endpoint, while for the
          incoming side the credentials must be for a 'server'
          endpoint. Setting this to a non-empty string enables TLS for
          all migrations.  An empty string means that QEMU will use
          plain text mode for migration, rather than TLS (Since 2.9)

     Returns: nothing on success

     Since: 0.14.0

     Notes:
       1. The 'query-migrate' command should be used to check
          migration's progress and final result (this information is
          provided by the 'status' member)

       2. All boolean arguments default to false

       3. The user Monitor's "detach" argument is invalid in QMP and
          should not be used

          address to listen on

     Returns: nothing on success

     Since: 2.3

     Notes:
       1. It's a bad idea to use a string for the uri, but it needs to
          stay compatible with -incoming and the format of the uri is
          already exposed above libvirt.

       2. QEMU must be started with -incoming defer to allow
          migrate-incoming to be used.

       3. The uri format is the same as for -incoming

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "migrate-incoming",

 -- Object: TransactionProperties
     Optional arguments to modify the behavior of a Transaction.

     Members:
    `completion-mode: ActionCompletionMode' (optional)
          Controls how jobs launched asynchronously by Actions will
          complete or fail as a group.  See `ActionCompletionMode' for
          details.

     Since: 2.5


 -- Command:  transaction
     Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If
     any operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be
     abandoned and the appropriate error returned.

     For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the
     file to use for the new snapshot, and the format.  The default
     format, if not specified, is qcow2.

     Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
     contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to
     reuse an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should
     ensure that the new image file has the same contents as the
     current one; QEMU cannot perform any meaningful check.  Typically
     this is achieved by using the current image file as the backing
     file for the new image.

     On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.

     For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the
     snapshot's name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already
     exists, the request will be rejected.  Only some image formats
     support it, for example, qcow2, rbd, and sheepdog.

     On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal
     snapshot in the transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during
     deletion, the user needs to fix it later with qemu-img or other
     command.

     Arguments:
    `actions: array of TransactionAction'
          List of `TransactionAction'; information needed for the
          respective operations.

    `properties: TransactionProperties' (optional)
          structure of additional options to control the execution of
          the transaction. See `TransactionProperties' for additional
          detail.

     Returns: nothing on success

     Errors depend on the operations of the transaction

     Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure.  Therefore,
     there will be information on only one failed operation returned in
     an error condition, and subsequent actions will not have been
     attempted.

     Since: 1.1

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "transaction",
          "arguments": { "actions": [

1.16 Tracing
============

 -- Enum: TraceEventState
     State of a tracing event.

     Values:
    `unavailable'
          The event is statically disabled.

    `disabled'
          The event is dynamically disabled.

    `enabled'
          The event is dynamically enabled.

     Since: 2.2


 -- Object: TraceEventInfo
     Information of a tracing event.

     Members:
    `name: string'
          Event name.

    `state: TraceEventState'
          Tracing state.

    `vcpu: boolean'
          Whether this is a per-vCPU event (since 2.7).
     An event is per-vCPU if it has the "vcpu" property in the
     "trace-events" files.

     Since: 2.2


 -- Command:  trace-event-get-state
     Query the state of events.

     Arguments:
    `name: string'
          Event name pattern (case-sensitive glob).

    `vcpu: int' (optional)
          The vCPU to query (any by default; since 2.7).

     Returns: a list of `TraceEventInfo' for the matching events

     An event is returned if:
        - its name matches the `name' pattern, and

        - if `vcpu' is given, the event has the "vcpu" property.


     Therefore, if `vcpu' is given, the operation will only match
     per-vCPU events, returning their state on the specified vCPU.
     Special case: if `name' is an exact match, `vcpu' is given and the
     event does not have the "vcpu" property, an error is returned.

     Since: 2.2

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "trace-event-get-state",
          "arguments": { "name": "qemu_memalign" } }
     <- { "return": [ { "name": "qemu_memalign", "state": "disabled" } ] }


 -- Command:  trace-event-set-state
     Set the dynamic tracing state of events.

     Arguments:
    `name: string'
          Event name pattern (case-sensitive glob).

    `enable: boolean'
          Whether to enable tracing.

    `ignore-unavailable: boolean' (optional)
          Do not match unavailable events with `name'.

    `vcpu: int' (optional)
          The vCPU to act upon (all by default; since 2.7).
     An event's state is modified if:
        - its name matches the `name' pattern, and

        - if `vcpu' is given, the event has the "vcpu" property.


     Therefore, if `vcpu' is given, the operation will only match
     per-vCPU events, setting their state on the specified vCPU.
     Special case: if `name' is an exact match, `vcpu' is given and the
     event does not have the "vcpu" property, an error is returned.

     Since: 2.2

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "trace-event-set-state",
          "arguments": { "name": "qemu_memalign", "enable": "true" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


1.17 QMP introspection
======================

 -- Command:  query-qmp-schema
     Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
     SchemaInfo.  This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
     events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and
     results.

     However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and
     restrictions that apply to QMP.  It's interface introspection
     (figuring out what's there), not interface specification.  The
     specification is in the QAPI schema.

     Furthermore, while we strive to keep the QMP wire format
     backwards-compatible across qemu versions, the introspection output
     is not guaranteed to have the same stability.  For example, one
     version of qemu may list an object member as an optional
     non-variant, while another lists the same member only through the
     object's variants; or the type of a member may change from a
     generic string into a specific enum or from one specific type into
     an alternate that includes the original type alongside something
     else.

     Returns: array of `SchemaInfo', where each element describes an
     entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...

     The order of the various SchemaInfo is unspecified; however, all
     names are guaranteed to be unique (no name will be duplicated with
     different meta-types).

     Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal*
     interfaces, by defining QAPI types.  These are not part of the QMP
     wire ABI, and therefore not returned by this command.

     Since: 2.5


 -- Enum: SchemaMetaType
     This is a `SchemaInfo''s meta type, i.e. the kind of entity it
     describes.

     Values:
    `builtin'
          a predefined type such as 'int' or 'bool'.

    `enum'
          an enumeration type

    `array'

    `object'
          an object type (struct or union)

    `alternate'
          an alternate type

    `command'
          a QMP command

     Members:
    `name: string'

          always referenced by this name.  Commands and events have the
          name defined in the QAPI schema.  Unlike command and event
          names, type names are not part of the wire ABI.
          Consequently, type names are meaningless strings here,
          although they are still guaranteed unique regardless of
          `meta-type'.

    `meta-type: SchemaMetaType'
          the entity's meta type, inherited from `base'.

    The members of `SchemaInfoBuiltin' when `meta-type' is "builtin"

    The members of `SchemaInfoEnum' when `meta-type' is "enum"

          `members' with this name must exist.

    `variants: array of SchemaInfoObjectVariant' (optional)
          variant members, i.e. additional members that depend on the
          type tag's value.  Present exactly when `tag' is present.
          The variants are in no particular order, and may even differ
          from the order of the values of the enum type of the `tag'.
     Values of this type are JSON object on the wire.

     Since: 2.5


 -- Object: SchemaInfoObjectMember

          value.

     Since: 2.5

     The variant members for a value of the type tag.

     Members:
    `case: string'
          a value of the type tag.

     Arguments:

     Arguments:
    `enable: array of QMPCapability' (optional)
          An optional list of QMPCapability values to enable.  The
          client must not enable any capability that is not mentioned
          in the QMP greeting message.  If the field is not provided,
          it means no QMP capabilities will be enabled.  (since 2.12)

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "qmp_capabilities",
          "arguments": { "enable": [ "oob" ] } }
     <- { "return": {} }

     Notes: This command is valid exactly when first connecting: it
     must be issued before any other command will be accepted, and will
     fail once the monitor is accepting other commands. (see qemu
     docs/interop/qmp-spec.txt)

     The QMP client needs to explicitly enable QMP capabilities,
     otherwise all the QMP capabilities will be turned off by default.

          greater than or equal to 90 signifies a release candidate for
          the next minor version.  A micro version of less than 50
          signifies a stable release.

    `package: string'
          QEMU will always set this field to an empty string.
          Downstream versions of QEMU should set this to a non-empty
          string.  The exact format depends on the downstream however
          it highly recommended that a unique name is used.

          has explicit handling of lost ticks

    `delay'
          continue to deliver ticks at the normal rate.  Guest time
          will be delayed due to the late tick

    `merge'
          merge the missed tick(s) into one tick and inject.  Guest time
          may be delayed, depending on how the OS reacts to the merging
          of ticks

    `slew'
          deliver ticks at a higher rate to catch up with the missed
          tick. The guest time should not be delayed once catchup is

 -- Command:  query-cpus
     Returns a list of information about each virtual CPU.

     This command causes vCPU threads to exit to userspace, which causes
     a small interruption to guest CPU execution. This will have a
     negative impact on realtime guests and other latency sensitive
     guest workloads.  It is recommended to use `query-cpus-fast'
     instead of this command to avoid the vCPU interruption.

     Returns: a list of `CpuInfo' for each virtual CPU

     Since: 0.14.0

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "query-cpus" }
     <- { "return": [
              {
                 "CPU":0,

     Note: This example has been shortened as the real response is too
     long.


 -- Command:  quit
     This command will cause the QEMU process to exit gracefully.
     While every attempt is made to send the QMP response before
     terminating, this is not guaranteed.  When using this interface, a
     premature EOF would not be unexpected.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "quit" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  stop
     Stop all guest VCPU execution.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Notes: This function will succeed even if the guest is already in
     the stopped state.  In "inmigrate" state, it will ensure that the
     guest remains paused once migration finishes, as if the -S option
     was passed on the command line.

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "stop" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  system_reset
     Performs a hard reset of a guest.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "system_reset" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  system_powerdown
     Requests that a guest perform a powerdown operation.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Notes: A guest may or may not respond to this command.  This
     command returning does not indicate that a guest has accepted the
     request or that it has shut down.  Many guests will respond to
     this command by prompting the user in some way.

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "system_powerdown" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  cpu-add
     Adds CPU with specified ID

     Arguments:
    `id: int'
          ID of CPU to be created, valid values [0..max_cpus)

     Returns: Nothing on success

     Since: 1.5

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "cpu-add", "arguments": { "id": 2 } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  memsave
     Save a portion of guest memory to a file.

     Arguments:
    `val: int'
          the virtual address of the guest to start from

    `size: int'
          the size of memory region to save

    `filename: string'
          the file to save the memory to as binary data

    `cpu-index: int' (optional)
          the index of the virtual CPU to use for translating the
          virtual address (defaults to CPU 0)

     Returns: Nothing on success

     Since: 0.14.0

     Notes: Errors were not reliably returned until 1.1

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "memsave",
          "arguments": { "val": 10,
                         "size": 100,
                         "filename": "/tmp/virtual-mem-dump" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  pmemsave
     Save a portion of guest physical memory to a file.

     Arguments:
    `val: int'
          the physical address of the guest to start from

    `size: int'
          the size of memory region to save

    `filename: string'
          the file to save the memory to as binary data

     Returns: Nothing on success

     Since: 0.14.0

     Notes: Errors were not reliably returned until 1.1

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "pmemsave",
          "arguments": { "val": 10,
                         "size": 100,
                         "filename": "/tmp/physical-mem-dump" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  cont
     Resume guest VCPU execution.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Returns: If successful, nothing

     Notes: This command will succeed if the guest is currently
     running.  It will also succeed if the guest is in the "inmigrate"
     state; in this case, the effect of the command is to make sure the
     guest starts once migration finishes, removing the effect of the -S
     command line option if it was passed.

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "cont" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  x-exit-preconfig
     Exit from "preconfig" state

     This command makes QEMU exit the preconfig state and proceed with
     VM initialization using configuration data provided on the command
     line and via the QMP monitor during the preconfig state. The
     command is only available during the preconfig state (i.e. when
     the -preconfig command line option was in use).

     Since 3.0

     Returns: nothing

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "x-exit-preconfig" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  system_wakeup
     Wakeup guest from suspend.  Does nothing in case the guest isn't
     suspended.

     Since: 1.1

     Returns: nothing.

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "system_wakeup" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  inject-nmi
     Injects a Non-Maskable Interrupt into the default CPU (x86/s390)
     or all CPUs (ppc64).  The command fails when the guest doesn't
     support injecting.

     Returns: If successful, nothing

     Since: 0.14.0

     Note: prior to 2.1, this command was only supported for x86 and
     s390 VMs

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "inject-nmi" }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  balloon
     Request the balloon driver to change its balloon size.

     Arguments:
    `value: int'
          the target size of the balloon in bytes

     Returns: Nothing on success If the balloon driver is enabled but
     not functional because the KVM kernel module cannot support it,
     KvmMissingCap If no balloon device is present, DeviceNotActive

     Notes: This command just issues a request to the guest.  When it
     returns, the balloon size may not have changed.  A guest can
     change the balloon size independent of this command.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "balloon", "arguments": { "value": 536870912 } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  human-monitor-command
     Execute a command on the human monitor and return the output.

     Arguments:
    `command-line: string'
          the command to execute in the human monitor

    `cpu-index: int' (optional)
          The CPU to use for commands that require an implicit CPU

     Returns: the output of the command as a string

     Since: 0.14.0

     Notes: This command only exists as a stop-gap.  Its use is highly
     discouraged.  The semantics of this command are not guaranteed:
     this means that command names, arguments and responses can change
     or be removed at ANY time.  Applications that rely on long term
     stability guarantees should NOT use this command.

     Known limitations:

        * This command is stateless, this means that commands that
          depend on state information (such as getfd) might not work

        * Commands that prompt the user for data don't currently work

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "human-monitor-command",
          "arguments": { "command-line": "info kvm" } }
     <- { "return": "kvm support: enabled\r\n" }


 -- Object: ObjectPropertyInfo
     Members:
    `name: string'
          the name of the property

    `type: string'
          the type of the property.  This will typically come in one of
          four forms:

          1) A primitive type such as 'u8', 'u16', 'bool', 'str', or
          'double'.  These types are mapped to the appropriate JSON
          type.

          2) A child type in the form 'child<subtype>' where subtype is
          a qdev device type name.  Child properties create the
          composition tree.

          3) A link type in the form 'link<subtype>' where subtype is a
          qdev device type name.  Link properties form the device model
          graph.

    `description: string' (optional)
          if specified, the description of the property.

     Since: 1.2


 -- Command:  qom-list
     This command will list any properties of a object given a path in
     the object model.

     Arguments:
    `path: string'
          the path within the object model.  See `qom-get' for a
          description of this parameter.

     Returns: a list of `ObjectPropertyInfo' that describe the
     properties of the object.

     Since: 1.2


 -- Command:  qom-get
     This command will get a property from a object model path and
     return the value.

     Arguments:
    `path: string'
          The path within the object model.  There are two forms of
          supported paths-absolute and partial paths.

          Absolute paths are derived from the root object and can
          follow child<> or link<> properties.  Since they can follow
          link<> properties, they can be arbitrarily long.  Absolute
          paths look like absolute filenames and are prefixed  with a
          leading slash.

          Partial paths look like relative filenames.  They do not begin
          with a prefix.  The matching rules for partial paths are
          subtle but designed to make specifying objects easy.  At each
          level of the composition tree, the partial path is matched as
          an absolute path.  The first match is not returned.  At least
          two matches are searched for.  A successful result is only
          returned if only one match is found.  If more than one match
          is found, a flag is return to indicate that the match was
          ambiguous.

    `property: string'
          The property name to read

     Returns: The property value.  The type depends on the property
     type. child<> and link<> properties are returned as #str
     pathnames.  All integer property types (u8, u16, etc) are returned
     as #int.

     Since: 1.2


 -- Command:  qom-set
     This command will set a property from a object model path.

     Arguments:
    `path: string'
          see `qom-get' for a description of this parameter

    `property: string'
          the property name to set

    `value: value'
          a value who's type is appropriate for the property type.  See
          `qom-get' for a description of type mapping.

     Since: 1.2


 -- Command:  change
     This command is multiple commands multiplexed together.

     Arguments:
    `device: string'
          This is normally the name of a block device but it may also
          be 'vnc'.  when it's 'vnc', then sub command depends on
          `target'

    `target: string'
          If `device' is a block device, then this is the new filename.
          If `device' is 'vnc', then if the value 'password' selects
          the vnc change password command.   Otherwise, this specifies
          a new server URI address to listen to for VNC connections.

    `arg: string' (optional)
          If `device' is a block device, then this is an optional
          format to open the device with.  If `device' is 'vnc' and
          `target' is 'password', this is the new VNC password to set.
          See change-vnc-password for additional notes.

     Returns: Nothing on success.  If `device' is not a valid block
     device, DeviceNotFound

     Notes: This interface is deprecated, and it is strongly
     recommended that you avoid using it.  For changing block devices,
     use blockdev-change-medium; for changing VNC parameters, use
     change-vnc-password.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Example:
     1. Change a removable medium

     -> { "execute": "change",
          "arguments": { "device": "ide1-cd0",
                         "target": "/srv/images/Fedora-12-x86_64-DVD.iso" } }
     <- { "return": {} }

     2. Change VNC password

     -> { "execute": "change",
          "arguments": { "device": "vnc", "target": "password",
                         "arg": "foobar1" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Object: ObjectTypeInfo
     This structure describes a search result from `qom-list-types'

     Members:
    `name: string'
          the type name found in the search

    `abstract: boolean' (optional)
          the type is abstract and can't be directly instantiated.
          Omitted if false. (since 2.10)

    `parent: string' (optional)
          Name of parent type, if any (since 2.10)

     Since: 1.1


 -- Command:  qom-list-types
     This command will return a list of types given search parameters

     Arguments:
    `implements: string' (optional)
          if specified, only return types that implement this type name

    `abstract: boolean' (optional)
          if true, include abstract types in the results

     Returns: a list of `ObjectTypeInfo' or an empty list if no results
     are found

     Since: 1.1


 -- Command:  device-list-properties
     List properties associated with a device.

     Arguments:
    `typename: string'
          the type name of a device

     Returns: a list of ObjectPropertyInfo describing a devices
     properties

     Note: objects can create properties at runtime, for example to
     describe links between different devices and/or objects. These
     properties are not included in the output of this command.

     Since: 1.2


 -- Command:  qom-list-properties
     List properties associated with a QOM object.

     Arguments:
    `typename: string'
          the type name of an object

     Note: objects can create properties at runtime, for example to
     describe links between different devices and/or objects. These
     properties are not included in the output of this command.

     Returns: a list of ObjectPropertyInfo describing object properties

     Since: 2.12


 -- Command:  xen-set-global-dirty-log
     Enable or disable the global dirty log mode.

     Arguments:
    `enable: boolean'
          true to enable, false to disable.

     Returns: nothing

     Since: 1.3

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "xen-set-global-dirty-log",
          "arguments": { "enable": true } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Command:  device_add
     Arguments:
    `driver: string'
          the name of the new device's driver

    `bus: string' (optional)
          the device's parent bus (device tree path)

    `id: string' (optional)
          the device's ID, must be unique
     Additional arguments depend on the type.

     Add a device.

     Notes:
       1. For detailed information about this command, please refer to
          the 'docs/qdev-device-use.txt' file.

       2. It's possible to list device properties by running QEMU with
          the "-device DEVICE,help" command-line argument, where DEVICE
          is the device's name

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "device_add",
          "arguments": { "driver": "e1000", "id": "net1",
                         "bus": "pci.0",
                         "mac": "52:54:00:12:34:56" } }
     <- { "return": {} }

     TODO: This command effectively bypasses QAPI completely due to its
     "additional arguments" business.  It shouldn't have been added to
     the schema in this form.  It should be qapified properly, or
     replaced by a properly qapified command.

     Since: 0.13


 -- Command:  device_del
     Remove a device from a guest

     Arguments:
    `id: string'
          the device's ID or QOM path

     Returns: Nothing on success If `id' is not a valid device,
     DeviceNotFound

     Notes: When this command completes, the device may not be removed
     from the guest.  Hot removal is an operation that requires guest
     cooperation.  This command merely requests that the guest begin
     the hot removal process.  Completion of the device removal process
     is signaled with a DEVICE_DELETED event. Guest reset will
     automatically complete removal for all devices.

     Since: 0.14.0

     Example:
     -> { "execute": "device_del",
          "arguments": { "id": "net1" } }
     <- { "return": {} }

     -> { "execute": "device_del",
          "arguments": { "id": "/machine/peripheral-anon/device[0]" } }
     <- { "return": {} }


 -- Event:  DEVICE_DELETED
     Emitted whenever the device removal completion is acknowledged by
     the guest.  At this point, it's safe to reuse the specified device
     ID. Device removal can be initiated by the guest or by HMP/QMP
     commands.

     Arguments:
    `device: string' (optional)
          device name

    `path: string'
          device path

     Since: 1.5

     Example:
     <- { "event": "DEVICE_DELETED",
          "data": { "device": "virtio-net-pci-0",
                    "path": "/machine/peripheral/virtio-net-pci-0" },
          "timestamp": { "seconds": 1265044230, "microseconds": 450486 } }


 -- Enum: DumpGuestMemoryFormat
     An enumeration of guest-memory-dump's format.

     Values:
    `elf'
          elf format

    `kdump-zlib'
          kdump-compressed format with zlib-compressed

    `kdump-lzo'
          kdump-compressed format with lzo-compressed

    `kdump-snappy'
          kdump-compressed format with snappy-compressed

    `win-dmp'
          Windows full crashdump format, can be used instead of ELF
          converting (since 2.13)

     Since: 2.0


 -- Command:  dump-guest-memory
     Dump guest's memory to vmcore. It is a synchronous operation that
     can take very long depending on the amount of guest memory.

     Arguments:
    `paging: boolean'
          if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. This allows
          using gdb to process the core file.

          IMPORTANT: this option can make QEMU allocate several
          gigabytes of RAM. This can happen for a large guest, or a
          malicious guest pretending to be large.

          Also, paging=true has the following limitations:

            1. The guest may be in a catastrophic state or can have
               corrupted memory, which cannot be trusted

            2. The guest can be in real-mode even if paging is enabled.
               For example, the guest uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI
               sleep state goes in real-mode

            3. Currently only supported on i386 and x86_64.

    `protocol: string'
          the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported
          protocols are:

            1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following
               string is the file's path.

            2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following
               string is the fd's name.

    `detach: boolean' (optional)
          if true, QMP will return immediately rather than waiting for
          the dump to finish. The user can track progress using

 -- Object: CpuDefinitionInfo
     Virtual CPU definition.

     Members:
    `name: string'
          the name of the CPU definition

    `migration-safe: boolean' (optional)
          whether a CPU definition can be safely used for migration in
          combination with a QEMU compatibility machine when migrating
          between different QEMU versions and between hosts with
          different sets of (hardware or software) capabilities. If not
          provided, information is not available and callers should not
          assume the CPU definition to be migration-safe. (since 2.8)

    `static: boolean'
          whether a CPU definition is static and will not change
          depending on QEMU version, machine type, machine options and
          accelerator options.  A static model is always
          migration-safe. (since 2.8)

    `unavailable-features: array of string' (optional)
          List of properties that prevent the CPU model from running in
          the current host. (since 2.8)

    `typename: string'
          Type name that can be used as argument to
          `device-list-properties', to introspect properties
          configurable using -cpu or -global.  (since 2.9)
     `unavailable-features' is a list of QOM property names that
     represent CPU model attributes that prevent the CPU from running.
     If the QOM property is read-only, that means there's no known way
     to make the CPU model run in the current host. Implementations
     that choose not to provide specific information return the
     property name "type".  If the property is read-write, it means
     that it MAY be possible to run the CPU model in the current host
     if that property is changed. Management software can use it as
     hints to suggest or choose an alternative for the user, or just to
     generate meaningful error messages explaining why the CPU model
     can't be used.  If `unavailable-features' is an empty list, the
     CPU model is runnable using the current host and machine-type.  If
     `unavailable-features' is not present, runnability information for
     the CPU is not available.

    `plugged-memory: int' (optional)
          size of memory that can be hot-unplugged. This field is
          omitted if target doesn't support memory hotplug (i.e.
          CONFIG_MEM_DEVICE not defined at build time).

     Since: 2.11.0


 -- Command:  query-memory-size-summary
     Return the amount of initially allocated and present hotpluggable
     (if enabled) memory in bytes.

     <- { "return": { "base-memory": 4294967296, "plugged-memory": 0 } }

     Since: 2.11.0


 -- Command:  query-cpu-definitions
     Return a list of supported virtual CPU definitions

     Returns: a list of CpuDefInfo

     Since: 1.2.0


 -- Object: CpuModelInfo
     Virtual CPU model.

     A CPU model consists of the name of a CPU definition, to which
     delta changes are applied (e.g. features added/removed). Most
     magic values that an architecture might require should be hidden
     behind the name.  However, if required, architectures can expose
     relevant properties.

     Members:
    `name: string'
          the name of the CPU definition the model is based on

    `props: value' (optional)
          a dictionary of QOM properties to be applied

     Since: 2.8.0


 -- Enum: CpuModelExpansionType
     An enumeration of CPU model expansion types.

     Values:
    `static'
          Expand to a static CPU model, a combination of a static base
          model name and property delta changes. As the static base
          model will never change, the expanded CPU model will be the
          same, independent of QEMU version, machine type, machine
          options, and accelerator options.  Therefore, the resulting
          model can be used by tooling without having to specify a
          compatibility machine - e.g. when displaying the "host"
          model. The `static' CPU models are migration-safe.

    `full'
          Expand all properties. The produced model is not guaranteed
          to be migration-safe, but allows tooling to get an insight
          and work with model details.

     Note: When a non-migration-safe CPU model is expanded in static
     mode, some features enabled by the CPU model may be omitted,
     because they can't be implemented by a static CPU model definition
     (e.g. cache info passthrough and PMU passthrough in x86). If you
     need an accurate representation of the features enabled by a
     non-migration-safe CPU model, use `full'. If you need a static
     representation that will keep ABI compatibility even when changing
     QEMU version or machine-type, use `static' (but keep in mind that
     some features may be omitted).

     Since: 2.8.0


 -- Object: CpuModelExpansionInfo
     The result of a cpu model expansion.

     Members:
    `model: CpuModelInfo'
          the expanded CpuModelInfo.

     Since: 2.8.0


 -- Command:  query-cpu-model-expansion
     Expands a given CPU model (or a combination of CPU model +
     additional options) to different granularities, allowing tooling
     to get an understanding what a specific CPU model looks like in
     QEMU under a certain configuration.

     This interface can be used to query the "host" CPU model.

     The data returned by this command may be affected by:

        * QEMU version: CPU models may look different depending on the
          QEMU version.  (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in
          query-cpu-definitions.)

        * machine-type: CPU model  may look different depending on the
          machine-type.  (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in
          query-cpu-definitions.)

        * machine options (including accelerator): in some
          architectures, CPU models may look different depending on
          machine and accelerator options. (Except for CPU models
          reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)

        * "-cpu" arguments and global properties: arguments to the -cpu
          option and global properties may affect expansion of CPU
          models. Using query-cpu-model-expansion while using these is
          not advised.


     Some architectures may not support all expansion types. s390x
     supports "full" and "static".

     Arguments:
    `type: CpuModelExpansionType'
          Not documented

    `model: CpuModelInfo'
          Not documented

     Returns: a CpuModelExpansionInfo. Returns an error if expanding
     CPU models is not supported, if the model cannot be expanded, if
     the model contains an unknown CPU definition name, unknown
     properties or properties with a wrong type. Also returns an error
     if an expansion type is not supported.

     Since: 2.8.0


 -- Enum: CpuModelCompareResult
     An enumeration of CPU model comparison results. The result is
     usually calculated using e.g. CPU features or CPU generations.

     Values:
    `incompatible'
          If model A is incompatible to model B, model A is not
          guaranteed to run where model B runs and the other way around.

    `identical'
          If model A is identical to model B, model A is guaranteed to
          run where model B runs and the other way around.

    `superset'
          If model A is a superset of model B, model B is guaranteed to
          run where model A runs. There are no guarantees about the
          other way.

    `subset'
          If model A is a subset of model B, model A is guaranteed to
          run where model B runs. There are no guarantees about the
          other way.

     Since: 2.8.0


 -- Object: CpuModelCompareInfo
     The result of a CPU model comparison.

     Members:
    `result: CpuModelCompareResult'
          The result of the compare operation.

    `responsible-properties: array of string'
          List of properties that led to the comparison result not
          being identical.
     `responsible-properties' is a list of QOM property names that led
     to both CPUs not being detected as identical. For identical
     models, this list is empty.  If a QOM property is read-only, that
     means there's no known way to make the CPU models identical. If
     the special property name "type" is included, the models are by
     definition not identical and cannot be made identical.

     Since: 2.8.0


 -- Command:  query-cpu-model-comparison
     Compares two CPU models, returning how they compare in a specific
     configuration. The results indicates how both models compare
     regarding runnability. This result can be used by tooling to make
     decisions if a certain CPU model will run in a certain
     configuration or if a compatible CPU model has to be created by
     baselining.

     Usually, a CPU model is compared against the maximum possible CPU
     model of a certain configuration (e.g. the "host" model for KVM).
     If that CPU model is identical or a subset, it will run in that
     configuration.

     The result returned by this command may be affected by:

        * QEMU version: CPU models may look different depending on the
          QEMU version.  (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in
          query-cpu-definitions.)

        * machine-type: CPU model may look different depending on the
          machine-type.  (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in
          query-cpu-definitions.)

        * machine options (including accelerator): in some
          architectures, CPU models may look different depending on
          machine and accelerator options. (Except for CPU models
          reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)

        * "-cpu" arguments and global properties: arguments to the -cpu
          option and global properties may affect expansion of CPU
          models. Using query-cpu-model-expansion while using these is
          not advised.


     Some architectures may not support comparing CPU models. s390x
     supports comparing CPU models.

     Arguments:
    `modela: CpuModelInfo'
          Not documented

    `modelb: CpuModelInfo'
          Not documented

     Returns: a CpuModelBaselineInfo. Returns an error if comparing CPU
     models is not supported, if a model cannot be used, if a model
     contains an unknown cpu definition name, unknown properties or
     properties with wrong types.

     Members:
    `model: CpuModelInfo'
          the baselined CpuModelInfo.

     Since: 2.8.0


 -- Command:  query-cpu-model-baseline
     Baseline two CPU models, creating a compatible third model. The
     created model will always be a static, migration-safe CPU model
     (see "static" CPU model expansion for details).

     This interface can be used by tooling to create a compatible CPU
     model out two CPU models. The created CPU model will be identical
     to or a subset of both CPU models when comparing them. Therefore,
     the created CPU model is guaranteed to run where the given CPU
     models run.

     The result returned by this command may be affected by:

        * QEMU version: CPU models may look different depending on the
          QEMU version.  (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in
          query-cpu-definitions.)

        * machine-type: CPU model may look different depending on the
          machine-type.  (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in
          query-cpu-definitions.)

        * machine options (including accelerator): in some
          architectures, CPU models may look different depending on
          machine and accelerator options. (Except for CPU models
          reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)

        * "-cpu" arguments and global properties: arguments to the -cpu
          option and global properties may affect expansion of CPU
          models. Using query-cpu-model-expansion while using these is
          not advised.


     Some architectures may not support baselining CPU models. s390x
     supports baselining CPU models.

     Arguments:
    `modela: CpuModelInfo'
          Not documented

    `modelb: CpuModelInfo'

     Returns: a CpuModelBaselineInfo. Returns an error if baselining
     CPU models is not supported, if a model cannot be used, if a model
     contains an unknown cpu definition name, unknown properties or
     properties with wrong types.

     generic ACPI table header; refer to the ACPI specification 5.0,
     section 5.2.6 System Description Table Header. If a header field
     is not overridden, then the corresponding value from the
     concatenated blob is used (in case of `file'), or it is filled in
     with a hard-coded value (in case of `data').
