                        QMP Supported Commands

                        ----------------------

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:

-> data issued by the Client

<- Server data response

Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed

information on the Server command and response formats.

NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.

1. 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)

2. Regular Commands

===================

Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please

refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

Arguments: 

- command-line: the command name and its arguments, just like the

                Human Monitor's shell (json-string)

- cpu-index: select the CPU number to be used by commands which access CPU

             data, like 'info registers'. The Monitor selects CPU 0 if this

Example:

-> { "execute": "human-monitor-command", "arguments": { "command-line": "info kvm" } }

<- { "return": "kvm support: enabled\r\n" }

Notes:

(1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, 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

(2) Limitations:

    o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend

      on state information (such as getfd) might not work

    o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block

      device is encrypted) don't currently work

HXCOMM sections, just like regular commands.

                   following members:

                 - "base": base address, in bytes (json-int)

                 - "limit": limit address, in bytes (json-int)

     - "memory_range": memory range information, a json-object with the

                       following members:

                 - "base": base address, in bytes (json-int)

                 - "limit": limit address, in bytes (json-int)

     - "devices": a json-array of PCI devices if there's any attached, each

                  each element is represented by a json-object, which contains

                  the same members of the 'PCI device json-object' described

                  above (optional)

- "regions": a json-array of json-objects, each json-object represents a

             memory region of this device

The memory range json-object contains the following:

- "base": base memory address (json-int)

- "limit": limit value (json-int)

The region json-object can be an I/O region or a memory region, an I/O region

json-object contains the following:

- "type": "io" (json-string, fixed)

- "bar": BAR number (json-int)

- "address": memory address (json-int)

- "size": memory size (json-int)

A memory region json-object contains the following:

- "type": "memory" (json-string, fixed)

- "bar": BAR number (json-int)

- "address": memory address (json-int)

- "size": memory size (json-int)

- "mem_type_64": true or false (json-bool)

- "prefetch": true or false (json-bool)
