5 # General note concerning the use of guest agent interfaces:
7 # "unsupported" is a higher-level error than the errors that individual
8 # commands might document. The caller should always be prepared to receive
9 # QERR_UNSUPPORTED, even if the given command doesn't specify it, or doesn't
10 # document any failure mode at all.
16 # Echo back a unique integer value, and prepend to response a
17 # leading sentinel byte (0xFF) the client can check scan for.
19 # This is used by clients talking to the guest agent over the
20 # wire to ensure the stream is in sync and doesn't contain stale
21 # data from previous client. It must be issued upon initial
22 # connection, and after any client-side timeouts (including
23 # timeouts on receiving a response to this command).
25 # After issuing this request, all guest agent responses should be
26 # ignored until the response containing the unique integer value
27 # the client passed in is returned. Receival of the 0xFF sentinel
28 # byte must be handled as an indication that the client's
29 # lexer/tokenizer/parser state should be flushed/reset in
30 # preparation for reliably receiving the subsequent response. As
31 # an optimization, clients may opt to ignore all data until a
32 # sentinel value is receiving to avoid unnecessary processing of
35 # Similarly, clients should also precede this *request*
36 # with a 0xFF byte to make sure the guest agent flushes any
37 # partially read JSON data from a previous client connection.

54 # This is used by clients talking to the guest agent over the

56 # data from previous client. All guest agent responses should be
57 # ignored until the provided unique integer value is returned,
58 # and it is up to the client to handle stale whole or
59 # partially-delivered JSON text in such a way that this response
62 # In cases where a partial stale response was previously
63 # received by the client, this cannot always be done reliably.
64 # One particular scenario being if qemu-ga responses are fed
65 # character-by-character into a JSON parser. In these situations,
66 # using guest-sync-delimited may be optimal.
68 # For clients that fetch responses line by line and convert them
