# = QMP monitor control
##
##
# @qmp_capabilities:
#
# Enable QMP capabilities.
#
# Arguments:
#
# @enable: An optional list of QMPCapability values to enable. The
# client must not enable any capability that is not
# mentioned in the QMP greeting message. If the field is not
# provided, it means no QMP capabilities will be enabled.
# (since 2.12)
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "qmp_capabilities",
# "arguments": { "enable": [ "oob" ] } }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
# Notes: This command is valid exactly when first connecting: it must be
# issued before any other command will be accepted, and will fail once the
# monitor is accepting other commands. (see qemu docs/interop/qmp-spec.txt)
#
# The QMP client needs to explicitly enable QMP capabilities, otherwise
# all the QMP capabilities will be turned off by default.
#
# Since: 0.13
#

{ 'command': 'qmp_capabilities',

##
# @QMPCapability:
#
# Enumeration of capabilities to be advertised during initial client
# connection, used for agreeing on particular QMP extension behaviors.
#
# @oob: QMP ability to support out-of-band requests.
# (Please refer to qmp-spec.txt for more information on OOB)
#
# Since: 2.12

##
# @VersionTriple:
#
# A three-part version number.
#
# @major: The major version number.
#
# @minor: The minor version number.
#
# @micro: The micro version number.
#
# Since: 2.4
##

##
# @VersionInfo:
#
# A description of QEMU's version.
#
# @qemu: The version of QEMU. By current convention, a micro
# version of 50 signifies a development branch. A micro version
# greater than or equal to 90 signifies a release candidate for
# the next minor version. A micro version of less than 50
# signifies a stable release.
#
# @package: QEMU will always set this field to an empty string. Downstream
# versions of QEMU should set this to a non-empty string. The
# exact format depends on the downstream however it highly
# recommended that a unique name is used.
#
# Since: 0.14.0
##
{ 'struct': 'VersionInfo',
'data': {'qemu': 'VersionTriple', 'package': 'str'} }
##
# @query-version:
#
# Returns the current version of QEMU.
#
# Returns: A @VersionInfo object describing the current version of QEMU.
#
# Since: 0.14.0
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "query-version" }
# <- {
# "return":{
# "qemu":{
# "major":0,
# "minor":11,
# "micro":5
# },

# Information about a QMP command

# @name: The command name
#
# Since: 0.14.0
##
{ 'struct': 'CommandInfo', 'data': {'name': 'str'} }
##
# @query-commands:
#
# Return a list of supported QMP commands by this server
#
# Returns: A list of @CommandInfo for all supported commands
#
# Since: 0.14.0
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "query-commands" }
# <- {
# "return":[
# {
# "name":"query-balloon"
# },
# {
# "name":"system_powerdown"
# }
# ]
# }
#
# Note: This example has been shortened as the real response is too long.

##
# @EventInfo:
#
# Information about a QMP event
#
# @name: The event name
#
# Since: 1.2.0
##
{ 'struct': 'EventInfo', 'data': {'name': 'str'} }
##
# @query-events:
#
# Return information on QMP events.
#
# Returns: A list of @EventInfo.
#
# Since: 1.2.0
#
# Note: This command is deprecated, because its output doesn't reflect
# compile-time configuration. Use query-qmp-schema instead.
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "query-events" }
# <- {
# "return": [
# {
# "name":"SHUTDOWN"
# },
# {
# "name":"RESET"
# }
# ]
# }
#
# Note: This example has been shortened as the real response is too long.
#
##
{ 'command': 'query-events', 'returns': ['EventInfo'] }
##
# @quit:
#
# This command will cause the QEMU process to exit gracefully. While every
# attempt is made to send the QMP response before terminating, this is not
# guaranteed. When using this interface, a premature EOF would not be
# unexpected.
#
# Since: 0.14.0
#
# Example:
#
# -> { "execute": "quit" }
# <- { "return": {} }
##
{ 'command': 'quit' }
##
# @MonitorMode:
#
# An enumeration of monitor modes.
#
# @readline: HMP monitor (human-oriented command line interface)
#
# @control: QMP monitor (JSON-based machine interface)
#
# Since: 5.0
##
{ 'enum': 'MonitorMode', 'data': [ 'readline', 'control' ] }
##
# @MonitorOptions:
#
# Options to be used for adding a new monitor.
#
# @id: Name of the monitor
#
# @mode: Selects the monitor mode (default: readline in the system
# emulator, control in qemu-storage-daemon)
#
# @pretty: Enables pretty printing (QMP only)
#
# @chardev: Name of a character device to expose the monitor on
#
# Since: 5.0
