NAME
       qemu-qmp-ref - QEMU QMP Reference Manual

DESCRIPTION
   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.

   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)

   QMP errors
       QapiErrorClass (Enum)

       The members of "InetSocketAddressBase"

       Since: 1.3

       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 {}.

       JobStatus (Enum)

       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.

       JOB_STATUS_CHANGE  (Event) Emitted when a job transitions to a
       different status.

       Arguments:

       "id: string"
           The job identifier

       "status: JobStatus"
           The new job status

       Since: 3.0

       job-pause  (Command) 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

       job-resume  (Command) 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

       job-cancel  (Command) 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

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

       Arguments:

       "id: string"
           The job identifier.

       Since: 3.0

       job-dismiss  (Command) 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

       job-finalize  (Command) 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

       "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

       Values:

       "frozen"
           The bitmap is currently in-use by some operation and is immutable.
           If the bitmap was "active" prior to the operation, new writes by
           the guest are being recorded in a temporary buffer, and will not be
           lost.  Generally, bitmaps are cleared on successful use in an
           operation and the temporary buffer is committed into the bitmap. On
           failure, the temporary buffer is merged back into the bitmap
           without first clearing it.  Please refer to the documentation for
           each bitmap-using operation, See also "blockdev-backup",
           "drive-backup".

       "disabled"
           The bitmap is not currently recording new writes by the guest.
           This is requested explicitly via "block-dirty-bitmap-disable".  It
           can still be cleared, deleted, or used for backup operations.

       "active"
           The bitmap is actively monitoring for new writes, and can be
           cleared, deleted, or used for backup operations.

       "locked"
           The bitmap is currently in-use by some operation and is immutable.
           If the bitmap was "active" prior to the operation, it is still
           recording new writes. If the bitmap was "disabled", it is not
           recording new writes. (Since 2.12)

       "inconsistent"
           This is a persistent dirty bitmap that was marked in-use on disk,
           and is unusable by QEMU. It can only be deleted.  Please rely on
           the inconsistent field in "BlockDirtyInfo" instead, as the status
           field is deprecated. (Since 4.0)

           Replaces `active` and `disabled` statuses. (since 4.0)

       "busy: boolean"
           true if the bitmap is in-use by some operation (NBD or jobs) and
           cannot be modified via QMP or used by another operation.  Replaces
           `locked` and `frozen` statuses. (since 4.0)

       "persistent: boolean"
           true if the bitmap was stored on disk, is scheduled to be stored on
           disk, or both. (since 4.0)

       "inconsistent: boolean" (optional)
           true if this is a persistent bitmap that was improperly stored.
           Implies "persistent" to be true; "recording" and "busy" to be
           false. This bitmap cannot be used. To remove it, use
           "block-dirty-bitmap-remove". (Since 4.0)

           and cleared when the updated bitmap is flushed to the qcow2 image.
           The presence of this flag in an offline image means that the bitmap
           was not saved correctly after its last usage, and may contain
           inconsistent data.

       "auto"
           The bitmap must reflect all changes of the virtual disk by any

       BlockMeasureInfo (Object)

       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"

       BlockdevOnError (Enum)

       An enumeration of possible behaviors for errors on I/O operations.  The
       exact meaning depends on whether the I/O was initiated by a guest or by
       a block job

       Values:

       "report"
           for guest operations, report the error to the guest; for jobs,
           cancel the job

       "ignore"
           ignore the error, only report a QMP event (BLOCK_IO_ERROR or
           BLOCK_JOB_ERROR). The backup, mirror and commit block jobs retry
           the failing request later and may still complete successfully. The
           stream block job continues to stream and will complete with an
           error.

       "enospc"
           same as "stop" on ENOSPC, same as "report" otherwise.

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

       "auto"
           inherit the error handling policy of the backend (since: 2.7)

       Since: 1.3

       MirrorSyncMode (Enum)

       An enumeration of possible behaviors for the initial synchronization
       phase of storage mirroring.

       Values:

       "top"
           copies data in the topmost image to the destination

       "full"
           copies data from all images to the destination

       "none"
           only copy data written from now on

       "incremental"
           only copy data described by the dirty bitmap. (since: 2.4)

       "bitmap"
           only copy data described by the dirty bitmap. (since: 4.2) Behavior
           on completion is determined by the BitmapSyncMode.

       Since: 1.3

       BitmapSyncMode (Enum)

       An enumeration of possible behaviors for the synchronization of a
       bitmap when used for data copy operations.

       Values:

       "on-success"
           The bitmap is only synced when the operation is successful.  This
           is the behavior always used for 'INCREMENTAL' backups.

       "never"
           The bitmap is never synchronized with the operation, and is treated
           solely as a read-only manifest of blocks to copy.

       "always"
           The bitmap is always synchronized with the operation, regardless of
           whether or not the operation was successful.

       Since: 4.2

       MirrorCopyMode (Enum)

       An enumeration whose values tell the mirror block job when to trigger
       writes to the target.

       Values:

       "background"
           copy data in background only.

       "write-blocking"
           when data is written to the source, write it (synchronously) to the
           target as well.  In addition, data is copied in background just
           like in "background" mode.

       blockdev-snapshot-sync  (Command) Takes 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

               <- { "return": {} }

       blockdev-snapshot  (Command) Takes a snapshot of a block device.

       Take 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.

       Features:

       "allow-write-only-overlay"
           If present, the check whether this operation is safe was relaxed so
           that it can be used to change backing file of a destination of a
           blockdev-mirror.  (since 5.0)

       Since: 2.5

       Example:

               -> { "execute": "blockdev-add",
                    "arguments": { "driver": "qcow2",
                                   "node-name": "node1534",
                                   "file": { "driver": "file",

                                   "overlay": "node1534" } }
               <- { "return": {} }

       change-backing-file  (Command) 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

       block-commit  (Command) 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

       "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

       "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

       "on-error: BlockdevOnError" (optional)
           the action to take on an error. 'ignore' means that the request
           should be retried. (default: report; Since: 5.0)

       "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)

       XDbgBlockGraphNodeType (Enum)

       Values:

       "block-backend"
           corresponds to BlockBackend

       "block-job"
           corresonds to BlockJob

       "block-driver"
           corresponds to BlockDriverState

       Since: 4.0

       XDbgBlockGraphNode (Object)

       Members:

       "id: int"
           Block graph node identifier. This "id" is generated only for
           x-debug-query-block-graph and does not relate to any other
           identifiers in Qemu.

       "type: XDbgBlockGraphNodeType"
           Type of graph node. Can be one of block-backend, block-job or
           block-driver-state.

       "name: string"
           Human readable name of the node. Corresponds to node-name for
           block-driver-state nodes; is not guaranteed to be unique in the
           whole graph (with block-jobs and block-backends).

       Since: 4.0

       BlockPermission (Enum)

       Enum of base block permissions.

       Values:

       "consistent-read"
           A user that has the "permission" of consistent reads is guaranteed
           that their view of the contents of the block device is complete and
           self-consistent, representing the contents of a disk at a specific
           point.  For most block devices (including their backing files) this
           is true, but the property cannot be maintained in a few situations
           like for intermediate nodes of a commit block job.

       "write"
           This permission is required to change the visible disk contents.

       "write-unchanged"
           This permission (which is weaker than BLK_PERM_WRITE) is both
           enough and required for writes to the block node when the caller
           promises that the visible disk content doesn't change.  As the
           BLK_PERM_WRITE permission is strictly stronger, either is
           sufficient to perform an unchanging write.

       "resize"
           This permission is required to change the size of a block node.

       "graph-mod"
           This permission is required to change the node that this BdrvChild
           points to.

       Since: 4.0

       drive-mirror  (Command) Start mirroring a block device's writes to a
       new destination. target specifies the target of the new image. If the
       file exists, or if it is a device, it will be used as the new
       destination for writes. If it does not exist, a new file will be
       created. format specifies the format of the mirror image, default is to
       probe if mode='existing', else the format of the source.

       DriveMirror (Object)

       A set of parameters describing drive mirror setup.

       Members:

       "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 whose writes should be
           mirrored.

       "target: string"
           the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is a
           device, the existing file/device will be used as the new
           destination.  If it does not exist, a new file will be created.

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

       "node-name: string" (optional)
           the new block driver state node name in the graph (Since 2.1)

       "replaces: string" (optional)
           with sync=full graph node name to be replaced by the new image when
           a whole image copy is done. This can be used to repair broken
           Quorum files. (Since 2.1)

       "mode: NewImageMode" (optional)
           whether and how QEMU should create a new image, default is

       "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).

       "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 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").

       "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, zeroes will be written.
           Both will result in identical contents.  Default is true. (Since
           2.4)

       "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

       in any of the source bitmaps. This can be used to achieve backup
       checkpoints, or in simpler usages, to copy bitmaps.

       block-stream  (Command) 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.

                    "arguments": { "device": "virtio0",
                                   "base": "/tmp/master.qcow2" } }
               <- { "return": {} }

       block-job-set-speed  (Command) 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

       block-job-cancel  (Command) 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

       block-job-pause  (Command) 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

       block-job-resume  (Command) 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

       block-job-complete  (Command) 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

       block-job-dismiss  (Command) 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

       block-job-finalize  (Command) 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

           only instead (and switch between the modes later), e.g. depending
           on whether the image file is writable or whether a writing user is
           attached to the node (default: false, since 3.1)

               2.
               -> { "execute": "blockdev-add",
                    "arguments": {

               <- { "return": {} }

       x-blockdev-reopen  (Command) Reopens a block device using the given set
       of options. Any option not specified will be reset to its default value
       regardless of its previous status. If an option cannot be changed or a
       particular driver does not support reopening then the command will
       return an error.

       The top-level "node-name" option (from BlockdevOptions) must be
       specified and is used to select the block device to be reopened.  Other
       "node-name" options must be either omitted or set to the current name
       of the appropriate node. This command won't change any node name and
       any attempt to do it will result in an error.

       In the case of options that refer to child nodes, the behavior of this
       command depends on the value:

       1) A set of options (BlockdevOptions): the child is reopened with the
       specified set of options.

       2) A reference to the current child: the child is reopened using its
       existing set of options.

       3) A reference to a different node: the current child is replaced with
       the specified one.

       4) NULL: the current child (if any) is detached.

       Options (1) and (2) are supported in all cases, but at the moment only
       "backing" allows replacing or detaching an existing child.

       Unlike with blockdev-add, the "backing" option must always be present
       unless the node being reopened does not have a backing file and its
       image does not have a default backing file name as part of its
       metadata.

       Arguments: the members of "BlockdevOptions"

       Since: 4.0

       blockdev-del  (Command) Deletes a block device that has been added

       device or is otherwise being used.

       Arguments:

       "node-name: string"
           Name of the graph node to delete.

       BLOCK_JOB_PENDING  (Event) 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" },

       PreallocMode (Enum)

       Preallocation mode of QEMU image file

       Values:

       "off"
           no preallocation

       "metadata"
           preallocate only for metadata

       "falloc"
           like "full" preallocation but allocate disk space by
           posix_fallocate() rather than writing data.

       "full"
           preallocate all data by writing it to the device to ensure disk
           space is really available. This data may or may not be zero,
           depending on the image format and storage.  "full" preallocation
           also sets up metadata correctly.

       Since: 2.2

       BLOCK_WRITE_THRESHOLD  (Event) 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

       block-set-write-threshold  (Command) 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": {} }

       x-blockdev-change  (Command) 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": {} }

       x-blockdev-set-iothread  (Command) 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": {} }

       NbdServerOptions (Object)

       Members:

       "addr: SocketAddress"
           Address on which to listen.

       "tls-creds: string" (optional)

       "tls-authz: string" (optional)
           ID of the QAuthZ authorization object used to validate the client's
           x509 distinguished name. This object is is only resolved at time of
           use, so can be deleted and recreated on the fly while the NBD
           server is active.  If missing, it will default to denying access
           (since 4.0).

       Keep this type consistent with the nbd-server-start arguments. The only
       intended difference is using SocketAddress instead of
       SocketAddressLegacy.

       Since: 4.2

       nbd-server-start  (Command) Start an NBD server listening on the given
       host and port.  Block devices can then be exported using
       "nbd-server-add".  The NBD server will present them as named exports;
       for example, another QEMU instance could refer to them as
       "nbd:HOST:PORT:exportname=NAME".

       Arguments:

       "addr: SocketAddressLegacy"
           Address on which to listen.

       "tls-creds: string" (optional)
           ID of the TLS credentials object (since 2.6).

       "tls-authz: string" (optional)
           ID of the QAuthZ authorization object used to validate the client's
           x509 distinguished name. This object is is only resolved at time of
           use, so can be deleted and recreated on the fly while the NBD
           server is active.  If missing, it will default to denying access
           (since 4.0).

       Returns: error if the server is already running.

       Keep this type consistent with the NbdServerOptions type. The only
       intended difference is using SocketAddressLegacy instead of
       SocketAddress.

       Since: 1.3.0

       Additional block stuff (VM related)

       BiosAtaTranslation (Enum)

       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

       "force: boolean" (optional)
           If true, eject regardless of whether the drive is locked.  If not
           specified, the default value is false.

       Features:

       "deprecated"
           Member "device" is deprecated.  Use "id" instead.

       Returns:

       -   Nothing on success

       -   If "device" is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound

       Notes: Ejecting a device with no media results in success

       Since: 0.14.0

       Example:

       blockdev-open-tray  (Command) 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

       "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

       Features:

       blockdev-close-tray  (Command) 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.

       state tree) from a block device. That block device's tray must
       currently be open (unless there is no attached guest device).

       If the tray is open and there is no medium inserted, this will be a no-
       op.

       block_set_io_throttle  (Command) 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

           The name or QOM path of the guest device.

       "boundaries: array of int" (optional)
           list of interval boundary values (see description in
           BlockLatencyHistogramInfo definition). If specified, all latency
           histograms are removed, and empty ones created for all io types
           with intervals corresponding to "boundaries" (except for io types,
           for which specific boundaries are set through the following
           parameters).

               other string.

       Returns: Nothing on success

       Since: 1.4

           -   utf8: the data read is interpreted as UTF-8.  Bug: can screw up
               when the buffer contains invalid UTF-8 sequences, NUL
               characters, after the ring buffer lost data, and when reading
               stops because the size limit is reached.

           -   The return value is always Unicode regardless of format, like

       dump-guest-memory  (Command) 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 "query-dump".
           (since 2.6).

       "begin: int" (optional)
           if specified, the starting physical address.

       "length: int" (optional)
           if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't want to dump
           all guest's memory, please specify the start "begin" and "length"

       "format: DumpGuestMemoryFormat" (optional)
           if specified, the format of guest memory dump. But non-elf format
           is conflict with paging and filter, ie. "paging", "begin" and
           "length" is not allowed to be specified with non-elf "format" at
           the same time (since 2.0)

       Note: All boolean arguments default to false

       Returns: nothing on success

       Since: 1.2

       '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.

       MigrationCapability (Enum)

       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)

       "multifd"
           Use more than one fd for migration (since 4.0)

       "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)

       "x-ignore-shared"
           If enabled, QEMU will not migrate shared memory (since 4.0)

       "validate-uuid"
           Send the UUID of the source to allow the destination to ensure it
           is the same. (since 4.2)

       Since: 1.2

       MigrationCapabilityStatus (Object)

       "announce-step"
           Increase in delay (in milliseconds) between subsequent packets in
           the announcement (Since 4.0)

       "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"

           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.

       "throttle-trigger-threshold"
           The ratio of bytes_dirty_period and bytes_xfer_period to trigger
           throttling. It is expressed as percentage.  The default value is
           50. (Since 5.0)

       "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)

       "tls-authz"
           ID of the 'authz' object subclass that provides access control
           checking of the TLS x509 certificate distinguished name.  This
           object is only resolved at time of use, so can be deleted and
           recreated on the fly while the migration server is active.  If
           missing, it will default to denying access (Since 4.0)

       "max-bandwidth"
           to set maximum speed for migration. maximum speed in bytes per
           second. (Since 2.8)

           milliseconds (Since 2.8)

       "x-checkpoint-delay"
           The delay time (in ms) between two COLO checkpoints in 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

       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

       Example:

               -> { "execute": "migrate", "arguments": { "uri": "tcp:0:4446" } }

           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",
                    "arguments": { "uri": "tcp::4446" } }
               <- { "return": {} }

       Example:

               -> { "execute": "xen-save-devices-state",
                    "arguments": { "filename": "/tmp/save" } }

           or fail as a group.  See "ActionCompletionMode" for details.

       Since: 2.5

       transaction  (Command) 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": [
                        { "type": "blockdev-snapshot-sync", "data" : { "device": "ide-hd0",

       "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

       trace-event-get-state  (Command) 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",

       "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.

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

   QMP monitor control
       qmp_capabilities  (Command) Enable QMP capabilities.

       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.

       Since: 0.13

       QMPCapability (Enum)

       Enumeration of capabilities to be advertised during initial client
       connection, used for agreeing on particular QMP extension behaviors.

       A description of QEMU's version.

       Members:

       "qemu: VersionTriple"
           The version of QEMU.  By current convention, a micro version of 50
           signifies a development branch.  A micro version 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.

       Since: 0.14.0

       query-version  (Command) Returns the current version of QEMU.

       Returns: A "VersionInfo" object describing the current version of QEMU.

                    ]
                  }

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

           The event name

       Since: 1.2.0

       query-events  (Command) Return information on QMP events.

       Features:

       "deprecated"
           This command is deprecated, because its output doesn't reflect
           compile-time configuration.  Use 'query-qmp-schema' instead.

       Returns: A list of "EventInfo".

       Since: 1.2.0

       Example:

               -> { "execute": "query-events" }
               <- {

                     ]
                  }

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

       quit  (Command) 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

   QMP introspection
       query-qmp-schema  (Command) 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

       SchemaMetaType (Enum)

       This is a "SchemaInfo"'s meta type, i.e. the kind of entity it
       describes.

       "name: string"
           the entity's name, inherited from "base".  The SchemaInfo is 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".

       "features: array of string" (optional)

           order.  (since 4.1 for object types, 4.2 for commands, 5.0 for the
           rest)

       qom-list  (Command) 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

       Example:

               -> { "execute": "qom-list",
                    "arguments": { "path": "/chardevs" } }
               <- { "return": [ { "name": "type", "type": "string" },
                                { "name": "parallel0", "type": "child<chardev-vc>" },
                                { "name": "serial0", "type": "child<chardev-vc>" },
                                { "name": "mon0", "type": "child<chardev-stdio>" } ] }

       qom-get  (Command) 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

       Example:

               1. Use absolute path

               -> { "execute": "qom-get",
                    "arguments": { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
                                   "property": "hotplugged" } }
               <- { "return": false }

               2. Use partial path

               -> { "execute": "qom-get",
                    "arguments": { "path": "unattached/sysbus",
                                   "property": "type" } }
               <- { "return": "System" }

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

       "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.

           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)

       object.

       Arguments:

       "typename: string"
           the type name of an object

       Note: objects can create properties at runtime, for example to describe

       "props: value" (optional)
           a dictionary of properties to be passed to the backend. Deprecated
           since 5.0, specify the properties on the top level instead. It is
           an error to specify the same option both on the top level and in
           "props".

       Additional arguments depend on qom-type and are passed to the backend
       unchanged.

       Returns: Nothing on success Error if "qom-type" is not a valid class
       name

       Since: 2.0

       Example:

               -> { "execute": "object-add",
                    "arguments": { "qom-type": "rng-random", "id": "rng1",

       "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

       device_add  (Command)

       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

       device_del  (Command) 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": {} }

       DEVICE_DELETED  (Event) 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 } }

       query-cpus  (Command) 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.

       Features:

       "deprecated"
           This command is deprecated, because it interferes with the guest.

       CpuModelInfo (Object)

       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.

           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).

       CpuModelCompareResult (Enum)

       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.

       "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.

       query-cpu-model-comparison  (Command) 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:

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

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

       o   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.)

       o   "-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.

           Not documented

       "modelb: CpuModelInfo"

       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.

       query-cpu-model-baseline  (Command) 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:

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

       query-cpu-model-expansion  (Command) 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:

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

       o   machine-type: CPU model  may look different depending on the

       o   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.)

       o   "-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". Arm only supports "full".

           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

       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)

       "alias-of: string" (optional)
           Name of CPU model this model is an alias for.  The target of the
           CPU model alias may change depending on the machine type.
           Management software is supposed to translate CPU model aliases in
           the VM configuration, because aliases may stop being migration-safe
           in the future (since 4.1)

       "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.

   Miscellanea
       LostTickPolicy (Enum)

       Policy for handling lost ticks in timer devices.  Ticks end up getting
       lost when, for example, the guest is paused.

       Values:

       "discard"
           throw away the missed ticks and continue with future injection
           normally.  The guest OS will see the timer jump ahead by a
           potentially quite significant amount all at once, as if the
           intervening chunk of time had simply not existed; needless to say,
           such a sudden jump can easily confuse a guest OS which is not
           specifically prepared to deal with it.  Assuming the guest OS can
           deal correctly with the time jump, the time in the guest and in the
           host should now match.

       "delay"
           continue to deliver ticks at the normal rate.  The guest OS will
           not notice anything is amiss, as from its point of view time will
           have continued to flow normally.  The time in the guest should now
           be behind the time in the host by exactly the amount of time during
           which ticks have been missed.

       "slew"
           deliver ticks at a higher rate to catch up with the missed ticks.
           The guest OS will not notice anything is amiss, as from its point
           of view time will have continued to flow normally.  Once the timer
           has managed to catch up with all the missing ticks, the time in the
           guest and in the host should match.

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

       stop  (Command) 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": {} }

       system_reset  (Command) Performs a hard reset of a guest.

       Since: 0.14.0

       Example:

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

       system_powerdown  (Command) 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": {} }

       memsave  (Command) 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": {} }

       pmemsave  (Command) 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": {} }

       cont  (Command) 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": {} }

       x-exit-preconfig  (Command) 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:

               <- { "return": {} }

       system_wakeup  (Command) Wake up guest from suspend. If the guest has
       wake-up from suspend support enabled (wakeup-suspend-support flag from
       query-current-machine), wake-up guest from suspend if the guest is in
       SUSPENDED state. Return an error otherwise.

       Since: 1.1

       Returns: nothing.

       Note: prior to 4.0, this command does nothing in case the guest isn't
       suspended.

       Example:

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

       inject-nmi  (Command) 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": {} }

       balloon  (Command) 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 } }

           The CPU to use for commands that require an implicit CPU

       Features:

       "savevm-monitor-nodes"
           If present, HMP command savevm only snapshots monitor-owned nodes
           if they have no parents.  This allows the use of 'savevm' with
           -blockdev. (since 4.2)

       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:

       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 don't currently work

       Example:

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

       change  (Command) 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.

       Features:

       "deprecated"
           This command is deprecated.  For changing block devices, use
           'blockdev-change-medium' instead; for changing VNC parameters, use
           'change-vnc-password' instead.

       Returns:

       -   Nothing on success.

       -   If "device" is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound

       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": {} }

       Since: 0.14.0

       Notes: If "fdname" already exists, the file descriptor assigned to it
       will be closed and replaced by the received file descriptor.

       The 'closefd' command can be used to explicitly close the file
       descriptor when it is no longer needed.

       Example:

               -> { "execute": "getfd", "arguments": { "fdname": "fd1" } }
