6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
8
9 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
10
11 Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
12 means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
13 QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
14
15 QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
16 usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
17 return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
18
19 It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
20 a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
21 protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
22
23 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
24
25 -> data issued by the Client
26 <- Server data response
27
28 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29 information on the Server command and response formats.
30
31 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
32
33 1. Stability Considerations
34 ===========================
35
36 The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
37 number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
38 defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
39
40 These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
41 and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
42
43 If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
44
45 1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
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
55 2. Regular Commands
56 ===================
57
58 Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
59 refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

543 replaced. Bug: replacement doesn't work. Bug: can screw
544 up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
545 lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
546 is reached.

996 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported
997 operation for now is snapshotting. If there is any failure performing
998 any of the operations, all snapshots for the group are abandoned, and
999 the original disks pre-snapshot attempt are used.
1000
1001 A list of dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1002 For snapshots this is the device, the file to use for the new snapshot,
1003 and the format. The default format, if not specified, is qcow2.
1004
1005 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1006 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1007 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1008 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1009 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1010 current image file as the backing file for the new image.

1018 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
1019 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
1020 - "snapshot-file": name of new image file (json-string)
1021 - "format": format of new image (json-string, optional)

1549 Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
1550 use this command

1552 (2) Limitations:
1553
1554 o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1555 on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1556
1557 o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
1558 device is encrypted) don't currently work

2600 query-migrate
2601 -------------
2602
2603 Migration status.
2604
2605 Return a json-object. If migration is active there will be another json-object
2606 with RAM migration status and if block migration is active another one with
2607 block migration status.
2608
2609 The main json-object contains the following:
2610
2611 - "status": migration status (json-string)
2612 - Possible values: "active", "completed", "failed", "cancelled"
2613 - "total-time": total amount of ms since migration started. If
2614 migration has ended, it returns the total migration
2615 time (json-int)
2616 - "downtime": only present when migration has finished correctly
2617 total amount in ms for downtime that happened (json-int)
2618 - "expected-downtime": only present while migration is active
2619 total amount in ms for downtime that was calculated on
2620 the last bitmap round (json-int)
2621 - "ram": only present if "status" is "active", it is a json-object with the
2622 following RAM information:
2623 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2624 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes (json-int)
2625 - "total": total amount of memory in bytes (json-int)
2626 - "duplicate": number of pages filled entirely with the same
2627 byte (json-int)
2628 These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
2629 - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
2630 - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred. I.e. they
2631 were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
2632 - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
2633 pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
2634 but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
2635 size (json-int)
2636 - "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,
2637 it is a json-object with the following disk information:
2638 - "transferred": amount transferred in bytes (json-int)
2639 - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
2640 - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
2641 - "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
2642 It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
2643 - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
2644 - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
2645 - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
2646 - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
2647 - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows. This means
2648 that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
2649 whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
2650 normal page).
