96 # @transaction:
97 #
98 # Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If any
99 # operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be abandoned and the
100 # appropriate error returned.
101 #
102 # For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
103 # the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is
104 # qcow2.
105 #
106 # Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
107 # contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
108 # an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
109 # the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
110 # perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
111 # current image file as the backing file for the new image.
112 #
113 # On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
114 #
115 # For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
116 # name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
117 # be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
118 # and sheepdog.
119 #
120 # On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
121 # transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
122 # it later with qemu-img or other command.
123 #
124 # @actions: List of @TransactionAction;
125 # information needed for the respective operations.
126 #
127 # @properties: structure of additional options to control the
128 # execution of the transaction. See @TransactionProperties
129 # for additional detail.
130 #
131 # Returns: nothing on success
132 #
133 # Errors depend on the operations of the transaction
134 #
135 # Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure. Therefore, there will be
136 # information on only one failed operation returned in an error condition, and
137 # subsequent actions will not have been attempted.
