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.

1014Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1015contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1016an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1017the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1018perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1019current image file as the backing file for the new image.

1021On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.

1023For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's

1025be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,

1028On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the

1182Start mirroring a block device's writes to a new destination. target
1183specifies the target of the new image. If the file exists, or if it is
1184a device, it will be used as the new destination for writes. If it does not
1185exist, a new file will be created. format specifies the format of the
1186mirror image, default is to probe if mode='existing', else the format
1187of the source.
