39a18158
MA
18#
19# Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
20# SchemaInfo. This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
21# events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
22#
23# However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions
24# that apply to QMP. It's interface introspection (figuring out
25# what's there), not interface specification. The specification is in
26# the QAPI schema.
27#
39a65e2c
EB
28# Furthermore, while we strive to keep the QMP wire format
29# backwards-compatible across qemu versions, the introspection output
30# is not guaranteed to have the same stability. For example, one
31# version of qemu may list an object member as an optional
32# non-variant, while another lists the same member only through the
33# object's variants; or the type of a member may change from a generic
34# string into a specific enum or from one specific type into an
35# alternate that includes the original type alongside something else.
36#
39a18158 37# Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an
26ec4e53 38# entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...

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