6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
8
9This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
10
11Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
14
15QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
18
19It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
22
23Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
24
25-> data issued by the Client
26<- Server data response
27
28Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29information on the Server command and response formats.
30
31NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
32
331. Stability Considerations
34===========================
35
36The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
39
40These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
42
43If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
44
c20cdf8b 45 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
82a56f0d
LC
46 check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
47 QEMU is available
48
49 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
50
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)
54
552. Regular Commands
56===================
57
58Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

1128Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1129contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1130an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1131the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1132perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1133current image file as the backing file for the new image.

1142On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the

1779Notes:
1780
1781(1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
1782 names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
1783 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
1784 use this command
1785
1786(2) Limitations:
1787
1788 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1789 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1790
1791 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
1792 device is encrypted) don't currently work

2941 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
2942 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
2943 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the

3352query-rx-filter
3353---------------
3354
3355Show rx-filter information.
3356
3357Returns a json-array of rx-filter information for all NICs (or for the
3358given NIC), returning an error if the given NIC doesn't exist, or
3359given NIC doesn't support rx-filter querying, or given net client
3360isn't a NIC.
3361
3362The query will clear the event notification flag of each NIC, then qemu
3363will start to emit event to QMP monitor.
3364
3365Each array entry contains the following:
3366
3367- "name": net client name (json-string)
3368- "promiscuous": promiscuous mode is enabled (json-bool)
3369- "multicast": multicast receive state (one of 'normal', 'none', 'all')
3370- "unicast": unicast receive state (one of 'normal', 'none', 'all')
3371- "broadcast-allowed": allow to receive broadcast (json-bool)
3372- "multicast-overflow": multicast table is overflowed (json-bool)
3373- "unicast-overflow": unicast table is overflowed (json-bool)
3374- "main-mac": main macaddr string (json-string)
3375- "vlan-table": a json-array of active vlan id
3376- "unicast-table": a json-array of unicast macaddr string
3377- "multicast-table": a json-array of multicast macaddr string
