19 # Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
20 # SchemaInfo. This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
21 # events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
23 # However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions
24 # that apply to QMP. It's interface introspection (figuring out
25 # what's there), not interface specification. The specification is in
28 # Furthermore, while we strive to keep the QMP wire format
29 # backwards-compatible across qemu versions, the introspection output
30 # is not guaranteed to have the same stability. For example, one
31 # version of qemu may list an object member as an optional
32 # non-variant, while another lists the same member only through the
33 # object's variants; or the type of a member may change from a generic
34 # string into a specific enum or from one specific type into an
35 # alternate that includes the original type alongside something else.
37 # Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an
38 # entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...
40 # The order of the various SchemaInfo is unspecified; however, all
41 # names are guaranteed to be unique (no name will be duplicated with
42 # different meta-types).
44 # Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal*
45 # interfaces, by defining QAPI types. These are not part of the QMP
46 # wire ABI, and therefore not returned by this command.
