13 # Sets the link status of a virtual network adapter.
14 #
15 # @name: the device name of the virtual network adapter

24 # Notes: Not all network adapters support setting link status. This command
25 # will succeed even if the network adapter does not support link status
26 # notification.

28 # Example:
29 #

49 # TODO: This command effectively bypasses QAPI completely due to its
50 # "additional arguments" business. It shouldn't have been added to
51 # the schema in this form. It should be qapified properly, or
52 # replaced by a properly qapified command.
