14 # @device-list-properties:
15 #
16 # List properties associated with a device.
17 #
18 # @typename: the type name of a device
19 #
20 # Returns: a list of ObjectPropertyInfo describing a devices
21 # properties
22 #
23 # Note: objects can create properties at runtime, for example to
24 # describe links between different devices and/or objects. These
25 # properties are not included in the output of this command.

27 # Since: 1.2

34 # @device_add:
35 #
36 # Add a device.
37 #
38 # @driver: the name of the new device's driver
39 #
40 # @bus: the device's parent bus (device tree path)
41 #
42 # @id: the device's ID, must be unique
43 #
44 # Features:
45 #
46 # @json-cli: If present, the "-device" command line option supports
47 # JSON syntax with a structure identical to the arguments of this
48 # command.
49 #
50 # @json-cli-hotplug: If present, the "-device" command line option
51 # supports JSON syntax without the reference counting leak that
52 # broke hot-unplug
53 #
54 # Notes:
55 #
56 # 1. Additional arguments depend on the type.
57 #
58 # 2. For detailed information about this command, please refer to the
59 # 'docs/qdev-device-use.txt' file.
60 #
61 # 3. It's possible to list device properties by running QEMU with the
62 # "-device DEVICE,help" command-line argument, where DEVICE is the
63 # device's name
64 #
65 # Example:
66 #
67 # -> { "execute": "device_add",
68 # "arguments": { "driver": "e1000", "id": "net1",
69 # "bus": "pci.0",
70 # "mac": "52:54:00:12:34:56" } }
71 # <- { "return": {} }
72 #
73 # TODO: This command effectively bypasses QAPI completely due to its
74 # "additional arguments" business. It shouldn't have been added
75 # to the schema in this form. It should be qapified properly, or
76 # replaced by a properly qapified command.

86 # @device_del:
87 #
88 # Remove a device from a guest
89 #
90 # @id: the device's ID or QOM path
91 #
92 # Returns: Nothing on success If @id is not a valid device,
93 # DeviceNotFound
94 #
95 # Notes: When this command completes, the device may not be removed
96 # from the guest. Hot removal is an operation that requires guest
97 # cooperation. This command merely requests that the guest begin
98 # the hot removal process. Completion of the device removal
99 # process is signaled with a DEVICE_DELETED event. Guest reset
100 # will automatically complete removal for all devices. If a
101 # guest-side error in the hot removal process is detected, the
102 # device will not be removed and a DEVICE_UNPLUG_GUEST_ERROR event
103 # is sent. Some errors cannot be detected.
104 #
105 # Since: 0.14

111 # <- { "return": {} }
112 #

120 # @DEVICE_DELETED:
121 #
122 # Emitted whenever the device removal completion is acknowledged by
123 # the guest. At this point, it's safe to reuse the specified device
124 # ID. Device removal can be initiated by the guest or by HMP/QMP
125 # commands.
126 #
127 # @device: the device's ID if it has one
128 #
129 # @path: the device's QOM path
