1 HXCOMM QMP dispatch table and documentation
2 HXCOMM Text between SQMP and EQMP is copied to the QMP documentation file and
3 HXCOMM does not show up in the other formats.
9 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
11 Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12 means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13 QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
15 QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16 usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17 return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
19 It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20 a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21 protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
23 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
25 -> data issued by the Client
26 <- Server data response
28 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29 information on the Server command and response formats.
31 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
33 1. Stability Considerations
34 ===========================
36 The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37 number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38 defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
40 These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41 and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
43 If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
45 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
46 check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
49 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
51 3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
52 for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
53 check for the "error" key)
58 Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59 refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

1144 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1145 smaller than the base image, the base will not be

1303 Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU
1304 versions for these operations. A list of dictionaries is accepted,
1305 that contains the actions to be performed. If there is any failure
1306 performing any of the operations, all operations for the group are
1309 For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1310 the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
1313 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1314 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1315 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1316 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1317 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1318 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1320 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1322 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1323 name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1324 be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1327 On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the

1329 it later with qemu-img or other command.

4181 The consoles are visible in the qom tree, under
4182 /backend/console[$index]. They have a device link and head property, so
4183 it is possible to map which console belongs to which device and display.
4185 Note: this command is experimental, and not a stable API.
