# @VhostUserBackend:
#
# Describes a vhost user backend to management software.
#
# It is possible for multiple @VhostUserBackend elements to match the
# search criteria of management software. Applications thus need rules
# to pick one of the many matches, and users need the ability to
# override distro defaults.
#
# It is recommended to create vhost user backend JSON files (each
# containing a single @VhostUserBackend root element) with a
# double-digit prefix, for example "50-qemu-gpu.json",
# "50-crosvm-gpu.json", etc, so they can be sorted in predictable
# order. The backend JSON files should be searched for in three
# directories:
#
#   - /usr/share/qemu/vhost-user -- populated by distro-provided
#                                   packages (XDG_DATA_DIRS covers
#                                   /usr/share by default),
#
#   - /etc/qemu/vhost-user -- exclusively for sysadmins' local additions,
#
#   - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/qemu/vhost-user -- exclusively for per-user local
#                                         additions (XDG_CONFIG_HOME
#                                         defaults to $HOME/.config).
#
# Top-down, the list of directories goes from general to specific.
#
# Management software should build a list of files from all three
# locations, then sort the list by filename (i.e., basename
# component). Management software should choose the first JSON file on
# the sorted list that matches the search criteria. If a more specific
# directory has a file with same name as a less specific directory,
# then the file in the more specific directory takes effect. If the
# more specific file is zero length, it hides the less specific one.
#
# For example, if a distro ships
#
#   - /usr/share/qemu/vhost-user/50-qemu-gpu.json
#
#   - /usr/share/qemu/vhost-user/50-crosvm-gpu.json
#
# then the sysadmin can prevent the default QEMU GPU being used at all with
#
#   $ touch /etc/qemu/vhost-user/50-qemu-gpu.json
#
# The sysadmin can replace/alter the distro default QEMU GPU with
#
#   $ vim /etc/qemu/vhost-user/50-qemu-gpu.json
#
# or they can provide a parallel QEMU GPU with higher priority
#
#   $ vim /etc/qemu/vhost-user/10-qemu-gpu.json
#
# or they can provide a parallel QEMU GPU with lower priority
#
#   $ vim /etc/qemu/vhost-user/99-qemu-gpu.json
#
# @type: The vhost user backend type.
#
# @description: Provides a human-readable description of the backend.
#               Management software may or may not display @description.
#
# @binary: Absolute path to the backend binary.
#
# @tags: An optional list of auxiliary strings associated with the
#        backend for which @description is not appropriate, due to the
#        latter's possible exposure to the end-user. @tags serves
#        development and debugging purposes only, and management
#        software shall explicitly ignore it.
#
# Since: 4.0
#
# Example:
#
# {
#   "description": "QEMU vhost-user-gpu",
#   "type": "gpu",
#   "binary": "/usr/libexec/qemu/vhost-user-gpu",
#   "tags": [
#     "CONFIG_OPENGL=y",
#     "CONFIG_GBM=y"
