# @add_client:
#

# devices to be passed in to QEMU via SCM_RIGHTS.
#
# If the FD associated with @fdname is not a socket, the command will
# fail and the FD will be closed.
#
# @protocol: protocol name.  Valid names are "vnc", "spice",
#     "@dbus-display" or the name of a character device (e.g. from
#     -chardev id=XXXX)

#
# @poll-max-ns: maximum polling time in ns, 0 means polling is

# @query-iothreads:
#
# Returns a list of information about each iothread.
#
# Note: this list excludes the QEMU main loop thread, which is not

#
# Returns: a list of @IOThreadInfo for each iothread
#
# Since: 2.0
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "query-iothreads" }

##
# @stop:
#
# Stop guest VM execution.
#
# Since: 0.14
#
# 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.
#
#     In the "suspended" state, it will completely stop the VM and
#     cause a transition to the "paused" state. (Since 9.0)
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "stop" }
# <- { "return": {} }
##
{ 'command': 'stop' }

##
# @cont:
#
# Resume guest VM execution.
#
# Since: 0.14
#
# 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.
#
#     If the VM was previously suspended, and not been reset or woken,
#     this command will transition back to the "suspended" state.
#     (Since 9.0)
#
# 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).
#
# Features:
#
# @unstable: This command is experimental.
#
# Since: 3.0
#
# Returns: nothing
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "x-exit-preconfig" }
# <- { "return": {} }
##
{ 'command': 'x-exit-preconfig', 'allow-preconfig': true,
  'features': [ 'unstable' ] }

##
# @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
#
# 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" }

# @getfd:
#
# Receive a file descriptor via SCM rights and assign it a name
#
# @fdname: file descriptor name
#
# Returns: Nothing on success
#
# Since: 0.14
#
# Notes: If @fdname already exists, the file descriptor assigned to it
#     will be closed and replaced by the received file descriptor.
#
#     The 'closefd' command can be used to explicitly close the file
#     descriptor when it is no longer needed.

# and assign it a name (the SOCKET is associated with a CRT file
# descriptor)
#
# @info: the WSAPROTOCOL_INFOW structure (encoded in base64)
#
# @fdname: file descriptor name
#
# Returns: Nothing on success
#
# Since: 8.0
#
# Notes: If @fdname already exists, the file descriptor assigned to it
