1 HXCOMM QMP dispatch table and documentation
2 HXCOMM Text between SQMP and EQMP is copied to the QMP documentation file and
3 HXCOMM does not show up
in the other formats
.
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
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)
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
.

1138 - "device": The device

1140 If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1141 (json-string, optional)

1143 which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1144 not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1146 - backing-file: The backing file string to write into the overlay
1147 image of 'top
'. If 'top
' is the active layer,
1148 specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1149 filename is not validated.
1151 If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1152 resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1153 HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1154 question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1156 If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1157 the backing file string to use, or error out if
1158 there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1159 when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1160 filename or protocol.
1161 (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1163 If top == base, that is an error.
1164 If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1165 user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1166 command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1168 If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1169 will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is
1170 smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1171 truncated. If you want the base image size to match the
1172 size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it

1328 Refer to the qemu/qapi-schema.json file for minimum required QEMU

1338 Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1339 contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1340 an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that
1341 the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1342 perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the
1343 current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1345 On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1347 For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1348 name
. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists
, the request will
1349 be rejected
. Only some image formats support it
