# @stop:
#
# Stop all guest VCPU execution.
#
# Since:  0.14.0
#
# Notes: This function will succeed even if the guest is already in the stopped
#        state.  In "inmigrate" state, it will ensure that the guest
#        remains paused once migration finishes, as if the -S option was
#        passed on the command line.
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "stop" }

#
##
{ 'command': 'stop' }

##
# @system_powerdown:
#
# Requests that a guest perform a powerdown operation.
#
# Since: 0.14.0
#
# Notes: A guest may or may not respond to this command.  This command
#        returning does not indicate that a guest has accepted the request or
#        that it has shut down.  Many guests will respond to this command by
#        prompting the user in some way.
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "system_powerdown" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
{ 'command': 'system_powerdown' }

##
# @memsave:

#
# @filename: the file to save the memory to as binary data
#
# @cpu-index: the index of the virtual CPU to use for translating the
#             virtual address (defaults to CPU 0)
#
# Returns: Nothing on success
#
# Since: 0.14.0
#
# Notes: Errors were not reliably returned until 1.1
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "memsave",
#      "arguments": { "val": 10,
#                     "size": 100,

##
# @cont:
#
# Resume guest VCPU execution.
#
# Since:  0.14.0
#
# Returns:  If successful, nothing
#
# Notes: This command will succeed if the guest is currently running.  It
#        will also succeed if the guest is in the "inmigrate" state; in
#        this case, the effect of the command is to make sure the guest
#        starts once migration finishes, removing the effect of the -S
#        command line option if it was passed.
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "cont" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
{ 'command': 'cont' }

##
# @x-exit-preconfig:
#
# Exit from "preconfig" state
#
# This command makes QEMU exit the preconfig state and proceed with
# VM initialization using configuration data provided on the command line
# and via the QMP monitor during the preconfig state. The command is only
# available during the preconfig state (i.e. when the --preconfig command
# line option was in use).
#
# Since 3.0
#
# Returns: nothing
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "x-exit-preconfig" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
{ 'command': 'x-exit-preconfig', 'allow-preconfig': true }

##
# @system_wakeup:
#
# Wake up guest from suspend. If the guest has wake-up from suspend
# support enabled (wakeup-suspend-support flag from
# query-current-machine), wake-up guest from suspend if the guest is
# in SUSPENDED state. Return an error otherwise.
#
# Since:  1.1
#
# Returns:  nothing.
#
# Note: prior to 4.0, this command does nothing in case the guest
#       isn't suspended.
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "system_wakeup" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
{ 'command': 'system_wakeup' }

##
# @inject-nmi:
#
# Injects a Non-Maskable Interrupt into the default CPU (x86/s390) or all CPUs (ppc64).
# The command fails when the guest doesn't support injecting.
#
# Returns:  If successful, nothing
#
# Since:  0.14.0
#
# Note: prior to 2.1, this command was only supported for x86 and s390 VMs
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "inject-nmi" }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
##
{ 'command': 'inject-nmi' }

##
# @human-monitor-command:
#
# Execute a command on the human monitor and return the output.
#
# @command-line: the command to execute in the human monitor
#
# @cpu-index: The CPU to use for commands that require an implicit CPU
#
# Features:
# @savevm-monitor-nodes: If present, HMP command savevm only snapshots
#                        monitor-owned nodes if they have no parents.
#                        This allows the use of 'savevm' with
#                        -blockdev. (since 4.2)
#
# Returns: the output of the command as a string
#
# Since: 0.14.0
#
# Notes: This command only exists as a stop-gap.  Its use is highly
#        discouraged.  The semantics of this command are not
#        guaranteed: this means that command names, arguments and
#        responses can change or be removed at ANY time.  Applications
#        that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
#        use this command.
#
#        Known limitations:
#
#        * This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
#          on state information (such as getfd) might not work
#
#        * Commands that prompt the user for data don't currently work
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "human-monitor-command",
#      "arguments": { "command-line": "info kvm" } }
# <- { "return": "kvm support: enabled\r\n" }

# @change:
#
# This command is multiple commands multiplexed together.
#
# @device: This is normally the name of a block device but it may also be 'vnc'.
#          when it's 'vnc', then sub command depends on @target
#
# @target: If @device is a block device, then this is the new filename.
#          If @device is 'vnc', then if the value 'password' selects the vnc
#          change password command.   Otherwise, this specifies a new server URI
#          address to listen to for VNC connections.
#
# @arg: If @device is a block device, then this is an optional format to open
#       the device with.
#       If @device is 'vnc' and @target is 'password', this is the new VNC
#       password to set.  See change-vnc-password for additional notes.
#
# Features:
# @deprecated: This command is deprecated.  For changing block
#              devices, use 'blockdev-change-medium' instead; for changing VNC
#              parameters, use 'change-vnc-password' instead.
#
# Returns: - Nothing on success.
#          - If @device is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound
#
# Since: 0.14.0

#        The 'closefd' command can be used to explicitly close the
