14# @query-qmp-schema
15#
16# Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
17# SchemaInfo. This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
18# events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
19#
20# However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions
21# that apply to QMP. It's interface introspection (figuring out
22# what's there), not interface specification. The specification is in
23# the QAPI schema.
24#

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

34# Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an

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

41# Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal*
42# interfaces, by defining QAPI types. These are not part of the QMP
