                        QMP Supported Commands
                        ----------------------

This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.

Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.

QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.

It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.

Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:

-> data issued by the Client
<- Server data response

Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
information on the Server command and response formats.

NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.

1. Stability Considerations
===========================

The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.

These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.

If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:

    1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
       check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
       QEMU is available

    2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented

    3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
       for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
       check for the "error" key)

2. Regular Commands
===================

Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

SQMP
human-monitor-command
---------------------

Arguments: 

- command-line: the command name and its arguments, just like the
                Human Monitor's shell (json-string)
- cpu-index: select the CPU number to be used by commands which access CPU
             data, like 'info registers'. The Monitor selects CPU 0 if this
             argument is not provided (json-int, optional)

Example:

-> { "execute": "human-monitor-command", "arguments": { "command-line": "info kvm" } }
<- { "return": "kvm support: enabled\r\n" }

Notes:

(1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
    names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
    Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
    use this command

(2) Limitations:

    o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
      on state information (such as getfd) might not work

    o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
      device is encrypted) don't currently work

3. Query Commands

HXCOMM Each query command below is inside a SQMP/EQMP section, do NOT change
HXCOMM this! We will possibly move query commands definitions inside those
HXCOMM sections, just like regular commands.

-------------

Show balloon information.

Make an asynchronous request for balloon info. When the request completes a
json-object will be returned containing the following data:

- "actual": current balloon value in bytes (json-int)
- "mem_swapped_in": Amount of memory swapped in bytes (json-int, optional)
- "mem_swapped_out": Amount of memory swapped out in bytes (json-int, optional)
- "major_page_faults": Number of major faults (json-int, optional)
- "minor_page_faults": Number of minor faults (json-int, optional)
- "free_mem": Total amount of free and unused memory in
              bytes (json-int, optional)
- "total_mem": Total amount of available memory in bytes (json-int, optional)

Example:

-> { "execute": "query-balloon" }
<- {
      "return":{
         "actual":1073741824,
         "mem_swapped_in":0,
         "mem_swapped_out":0,
         "major_page_faults":142,
         "minor_page_faults":239245,
         "free_mem":1014185984,
         "total_mem":1044668416
