5 The QEMU dbus-vmstate object's aim is to migrate helpers' data running
6 on a QEMU D-Bus bus. (refer to the :doc:`dbus` document for
7 some recommendations on D-Bus usage)
9 Upon migration, QEMU will go through the queue of
10 ``org.qemu.VMState1`` D-Bus name owners and query their ``Id``. It
11 must be unique among the helpers.
13 It will then save arbitrary data of each Id to be transferred in the
14 migration stream and restored/loaded at the corresponding destination
17 For now, the data amount to be transferred is arbitrarily limited to
18 1Mb. The state must be saved quickly (a fraction of a second). (D-Bus
19 imposes a time limit on reply anyway, and migration would fail if data
20 isn't given quickly enough.)
22 dbus-vmstate object can be configured with the expected list of
23 helpers by setting its ``id-list`` property, with a comma-separated
28 .. dbus-doc:: backends/dbus-vmstate1.xml
33 Sphinx 4 is required to build D-Bus documentation.
