11 QMP Supported Commands
12 ----------------------
14 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP
.
16 Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as
in the user Monitor
, this
17 means that any other document which also describe
commands (the manpage
,
18 QEMU
's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
20 QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
21 usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway
, while query commands just
22 return information
. The sections below are divided accordingly
.
24 It
's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
25 a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand
. However
, in real
26 protocol usage
, they
're emitted as a single line.
28 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
30 -> data issued by the Client
31 <- Server data response
33 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
34 information on the Server command and response formats.
36 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
38 1. Stability Considerations
39 ===========================
41 The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
42 number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
43 defined semantics
, specially with regard to command completion
.
45 These problems are going to be solved incrementally
in the next QEMU releases
46 and we
're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
48 If you're planning to adopt QMP
, please observe the following
:
50 1. The deprecation policy will take efect and be documented soon
, please
51 check the documentation of each used command as soon as a
new release of
54 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
56 3. Errors
, in special
, are not documented
. Applications should NOT check
57 for specific errors classes or
data (it
's strongly recommended to only
58 check for the "error" key)
63 Server's responses
in the examples below are always a success response
, please
64 refer to the QMP specification
for more details on error responses
.
