6 QMP Supported Commands
7 ----------------------
9 This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
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.
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.
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.
23 Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
25 -> data issued by the Client
26 <- Server data response
28 Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
29 information on the Server command and response formats.
31 NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
33 1. Stability Considerations
34 ===========================
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.
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.
43 If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
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
49 2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
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)
55 2. Regular Commands
56 ===================
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.

856 SQMP
857 transaction
858 -----------
860 Atomically operate on one or more block devices. The only supported
861 operation for now is snapshotting. If there is any failure performing
862 any of the operations, all snapshots for the group are abandoned, and
863 the original disks pre-snapshot attempt are used.
865 A list of dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
866 For snapshots this is the device, the file to use for the new snapshot,
867 and the format. The default format, if not specified, is qcow2.
869 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
870 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
871 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
872 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
873 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
874 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
876 Arguments:
878 actions array:
879 - "type": the operation to perform. The only supported
880 value is "blockdev-snapshot-sync". (json-string)
881 - "data": a dictionary. The contents depend on the value
882 of "type". When "type" is "blockdev-snapshot-sync":
883 - "device": device name to snapshot (json-string)
