Specify an ACPI table on the command line to load.
At most one of @file and @data can be specified. The list of files specified by any one of them is loaded and concatenated in order. If both are omitted, @data is implied.
Other fields / optargs can be used to override fields of the generic ACPI table header; refer to the ACPI specification 5.0, section 5.2.6 System Description Table Header. If a header field is not overridden, then the corresponding value from the concatenated blob is used (in case of @file), or it is filled in with a hard-coded value (in case of @data).
String fields are copied into the matching ACPI member from lowest address upwards, and silently truncated / NUL-padded to length.

Live commit of data from overlay image nodes into backing nodes - i.e., writes data between 'top' and 'base' into 'base'.
If top == base, that is an error. If top has no overlays on top of it, or if it is in use by a writer, the job will not be completed by itself. The user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image will be resized to be the same size as top. If top is smaller than the base image, the base will not be truncated. If you want the base image size to match the size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.
Returns: - Nothing on success - If @device does not exist, DeviceNotFound - Any other error returns a GenericError.

Merge dirty bitmaps listed in @bitmaps to the @target dirty bitmap. Dirty bitmaps in @bitmaps will be unchanged, except if it also appears as the @target bitmap. Any bits already set in @target will still be set after the merge, i.e., this operation does not clear the target. On error, @target is unchanged.
The resulting bitmap will count as dirty any clusters that were dirty in any of the source bitmaps. This can be used to achieve backup checkpoints, or in simpler usages, to copy bitmaps.
Returns: - nothing on success - If @node is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound - If any bitmap in @bitmaps or @target is not found, GenericError - If any of the bitmaps have different sizes or granularities,

Stop an active background block operation.
This command returns immediately after marking the active background block operation for cancellation. It is an error to call this command if no operation is in progress.
The operation will cancel as soon as possible and then emit the BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event. Before that happens the job is still visible when enumerated using query-block-jobs.
Note that if you issue 'block-job-cancel' after 'drive-mirror' has indicated (via the event BLOCK_JOB_READY) that the source and destination are synchronized, then the event triggered by this command changes to BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED, to indicate that the mirroring has ended and the destination now has a point-in-time copy tied to the time of the cancellation.
For streaming, the image file retains its backing file unless the streaming operation happens to complete just as it is being cancelled. A new streaming operation can be started at a later time to finish copying all data from the backing file.
Returns: - Nothing on success - If no background operation is active on this device, DeviceNotActive

Manually trigger completion of an active background block operation. This is supported for drive mirroring, where it also switches the device to write to the target path only. The ability to complete is signaled with a BLOCK_JOB_READY event.
This command completes an active background block operation synchronously. The ordering of this command's return with the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event is not defined. Note that if an I/O error occurs during the processing of this command: 1) the command itself will fail; 2) the error will be processed according to the rerror/werror arguments that were specified when starting the operation.
A cancelled or paused job cannot be completed.

Only present on failure. This field contains a human-readable error message. There are no semantics other than that streaming has failed and clients should not try to interpret the error string }
For jobs that have already concluded, remove them from the block-job-query list. This command only needs to be run for jobs which were started with QEMU 2.12+ job lifetime management semantics.
This command will refuse to operate on any job that has not yet reached its terminal state, JOB_STATUS_CONCLUDED. For jobs that make use of the BLOCK_JOB_READY event, block-job-cancel or block-job-complete will still need to be used as appropriate.

Once a job that has manual=true reaches the pending state, it can be instructed to finalize any graph changes and do any necessary cleanup via this command.

Pause an active background block operation.
This command returns immediately after marking the active background block operation for pausing. It is an error to call this command if no operation is in progress or if the job is already paused.
The operation will pause as soon as possible. No event is emitted when the operation is actually paused. Cancelling a paused job automatically resumes it.
Returns: - Nothing on success - If no background operation is active on this device, DeviceNotActive

Image file size calculation information. This structure describes the size requirements for creating a new image file.
The size requirements depend on the new image file format. File size always equals virtual disk size for the 'raw' format, even for sparse POSIX files. Compact formats such as 'qcow2' represent unallocated and zero regions efficiently so file size may be smaller than virtual disk size.
The values are upper bounds that are guaranteed to fit the new image file. Subsequent modification, such as internal snapshot or further bitmap creation, may require additional space and is not covered here.

Change I/O throttle limits for a block drive.
Since QEMU 2.4, each device with I/O limits is member of a throttle group.
If two or more devices are members of the same group, the limits will apply to the combined I/O of the whole group in a round-robin fashion. Therefore, setting new I/O limits to a device will affect the whole group.
The name of the group can be specified using the 'group' parameter. If the parameter is unset, it is assumed to be the current group of that device. If it's not in any group yet, the name of the device will be used as the name for its group.
The 'group' parameter can also be used to move a device to a different group. In this case the limits specified in the parameters will be applied to the new group only.
I/O limits can be disabled by setting all of them to 0. In this case the device will be removed from its group and the rest of its members will not be affected. The 'group' parameter is ignored.
Returns: - Nothing on success - If @device is not a valid block device, DeviceNotFound

Change the write threshold for a block drive. An event will be delivered if a write to this block drive crosses the configured threshold. The threshold is an offset, thus must be non-negative. Default is no write threshold. Setting the threshold to zero disables it.
This is useful to transparently resize thin-provisioned drives without the guest OS noticing.

Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
The block streaming operation is performed in the background until the entire backing file has been copied. This command returns immediately once streaming has started. The status of ongoing block streaming operations can be checked with query-block-jobs. The operation can be stopped before it has completed using the block-job-cancel command.
The node that receives the data is called the top image, can be located in any part of the chain (but always above the base image; see below) and can be specified using its device or node name. Earlier qemu versions only allowed 'device' to name the top level node; presence of the 'base-node' parameter during introspection can be used as a witness of the enhanced semantics of 'device'.
If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that base file and its backing chain. This can be used to stream a subset of the backing file chain instead of flattening the entire image. When streaming completes the image file will have the base file as its backing file, unless that node was changed while the job was running. In that case, base's parent's backing (or filtered, whichever exists) child (i.e., base at the beginning of the job) will be the new backing file.
On successful completion the image file is updated to drop the backing file and the BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED event is emitted.
In case @device is a filter node, block-stream modifies the first non-filter overlay node below it to point to the new backing node instead of modifying @device itself.
Returns: - Nothing on success. - If @device does not exist, DeviceNotFound.

Opens a block device's tray. If there is a block driver state tree inserted as a medium, it will become inaccessible to the guest (but it will remain associated to the block device, so closing the tray will make it accessible again).
If the tray was already open before, this will be a no-op.
Once the tray opens, a DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED event is emitted. There are cases in which no such event will be generated, these include:
- if the guest has locked the tray, @force is false and the guest does not
respond to the eject request
- if the BlockBackend denoted by @device does not have a guest device attached
to it
- if the guest device does not have an actual tray

Removes a medium (a block driver state tree) from a block device. That block device's tray must currently be open (unless there is no attached guest device).
If the tray is open and there is no medium inserted, this will be a no-op.

Reopens one or more block devices using the given set of options. Any option not specified will be reset to its default value regardless of its previous status. If an option cannot be changed or a particular driver does not support reopening then the command will return an error. All devices in the list are reopened in one transaction, so if one of them fails then the whole transaction is cancelled.
The command receives a list of block devices to reopen. For each one of them, the top-level @node-name option (from BlockdevOptions) must be specified and is used to select the block device to be reopened. Other @node-name options must be either omitted or set to the current name of the appropriate node. This command won't change any node name and any attempt to do it will result in an error.
In the case of options that refer to child nodes, the behavior of this command depends on the value:
1) A set of options (BlockdevOptions): the child is reopened with the specified set of options. 2) A reference to the current child: the child is reopened using its existing set of options. 3) A reference to a different node: the current child is replaced with the specified one. 4) NULL: the current child (if any) is detached.
Options (1) and (2) are supported in all cases. Option (3) is supported for @file and @backing, and option (4) for @backing only.
Unlike with blockdev-add, the @backing option must always be present unless the node being reopened does not have a backing file and its image does not have a default backing file name as part of its metadata.

Virtual CPU definition.
None: @unavailable-features is a list of QOM property names that represent CPU model attributes that prevent the CPU from running. If the QOM property is read-only, that means there's no known way to make the CPU model run in the current host. Implementations that choose not to provide specific information return the property name "type". If the property is read-write, it means that it MAY be possible to run the CPU model in the current host if that property is changed. Management software can use it as hints to suggest or choose an alternative for the user, or just to generate meaningful error messages explaining why the CPU model can't be used. If @unavailable-features is an empty list, the CPU model is runnable using the current host and machine-type.

Note: When a non-migration-safe CPU model is expanded in static mode, some features enabled by the CPU model may be omitted, because they can't be implemented by a static CPU model definition (e.g. cache info passthrough and PMU passthrough in x86). If you need an accurate representation of the features enabled by a non-migration-safe CPU model, use @full.

Add a device.
Notes: Additional arguments depend on the type.
1. For detailed information about this command, please refer to the
'docs/qdev-device-use.txt' file.
2. It's possible to list device properties by running QEMU with the
"-device DEVICE,help" command-line argument, where DEVICE is the device's name
Example: -> { "execute": "device_add",
"arguments": { "driver": "e1000", "id": "net1", "bus": "pci.0", "mac": "52:54:00:12:34:56" } }

Remove a device from a guest
Returns: Nothing on success If @id is not a valid device, DeviceNotFound
Notes: When this command completes, the device may not be removed from the guest. Hot removal is an operation that requires guest cooperation. This command merely requests that the guest begin the hot removal process. Completion of the device removal process is signaled with a DEVICE_DELETED event. Guest reset will automatically complete removal for all devices. If a guest-side error in the hot removal process is detected, the device will not be removed and a DEVICE_UNPLUG_GUEST_ERROR event is sent. Some errors cannot be detected.
Since: 0.14
Example: -> { "execute": "device_del",

on state information (such as getfd) might not work
* Commands that prompt the user for data don't currently work

Send input event(s) to guest.
The @device and @head parameters can be used to send the input event to specific input devices in case (a) multiple input devices of the same kind are added to the virtual machine and (b) you have configured input routing (see docs/multiseat.txt) for those input devices. The parameters work exactly like the device and head properties of input devices. If @device is missing, only devices that have no input routing config are admissible. If @device is specified, both input devices with and without input routing config are admissible, but devices with input routing config take precedence.

Instruct an active background job to cancel at the next opportunity. This command returns immediately after marking the active job for cancellation.
The job will cancel as soon as possible and then emit a JOB_STATUS_CHANGE event. Usually, the status will change to ABORTING, but it is possible that a job successfully completes (e.g. because it was almost done and there was no opportunity to cancel earlier than completing the job) and transitions to PENDING instead.
Since: 3.0
type JobCancelCommand struct { Id string `json:"id"` // The job identifier. }
Manually trigger completion of an active job in the READY state.
Since: 3.0
type JobCompleteCommand struct { Id string `json:"id"` // The job identifier. }
Deletes a job that is in the CONCLUDED state. This command only needs to be run explicitly for jobs that don't have automatic dismiss enabled.
This command will refuse to operate on any job that has not yet reached its terminal state, JOB_STATUS_CONCLUDED. For jobs that make use of JOB_READY event, job-cancel or job-complete will still need to be used as appropriate.
Since: 3.0
type JobDismissCommand struct { Id string `json:"id"` // The job identifier. }
Instructs all jobs in a transaction (or a single job if it is not part of any transaction) to finalize any graph changes and do any necessary cleanup. This command requires that all involved jobs are in the PENDING state.
For jobs in a transaction, instructing one job to finalize will force ALL jobs in the transaction to finalize, so it is only necessary to instruct a single member job to finalize.
Since: 3.0
type JobFinalizeCommand struct { Id string `json:"id"` // The identifier of any job in the transaction, or of a job that is not part of any transaction. }

Error *string `json:"error,omitempty"` // If this field is present, the job failed; if it is still missing in the CONCLUDED state, this indicates successful completion. The value is a human-readable error message to describe the reason for the job failure. It should not be parsed by applications. }
Pause an active job.
This command returns immediately after marking the active job for pausing. Pausing an already paused job is an error.
The job will pause as soon as possible, which means transitioning into the PAUSED state if it was RUNNING, or into STANDBY if it was READY. The corresponding JOB_STATUS_CHANGE event will be emitted.
Cancelling a paused job automatically resumes it.
Since: 3.0
type JobPauseCommand struct { Id string `json:"id"` // The job identifier. }
Resume a paused job.
This command returns immediately after resuming a paused job. Resuming an already running job is an error.

If this parameter is true, we will compute the ideal CPU percentage used by the Guest, which may exactly make the dirty rate match the dirty rate threshold. Then we will choose a smaller throttle increment between the one specified by @cpu-throttle-increment and the one generated by ideal CPU percentage.

Enable QMP capabilities.
Arguments:

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.

This command will get a property from a object model path and return the value.
Returns: The property value. The type depends on the property type. child<> and link<> properties are returned as #str pathnames. All integer property types (u8, u16, etc) are returned as #int.
Since: 1.2
Example: 1. Use absolute path

Absolute paths are derived from the root object and can follow child<> or link<> properties. Since they can follow link<> properties, they can be arbitrarily long. Absolute paths look like absolute filenames and are prefixed with a leading slash. Partial paths look like relative filenames. They do not begin with a prefix. The matching rules for partial paths are subtle but designed to make specifying objects easy. At each level of the composition tree, the partial path is matched as an absolute path. The first match is not returned. At least two matches are searched for. A successful result is only returned if only one match is found. If more than one match is found, a flag is return to indicate that the match was ambiguous. Property string `json:"property"` // The property name to read }
This command will list any properties of a object given a path in the object model.

type QueryCommandsCommand struct{}
Return a list of supported virtual CPU definitions
Returns: a list of CpuDefInfo
Since: 1.2
type QueryCpuDefinitionsCommand struct{}
Baseline two CPU models, creating a compatible third model. The created model will always be a static, migration-safe CPU model (see "static" CPU model expansion for details).
This interface can be used by tooling to create a compatible CPU model out two CPU models. The created CPU model will be identical to or a subset of both CPU models when comparing them. Therefore, the created CPU model is guaranteed to run where the given CPU models run.
The result returned by this command may be affected by:
* QEMU version: CPU models may look different depending on the QEMU version.
(Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* machine-type: CPU model may look different depending on the machine-type.
(Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* machine options (including accelerator): in some architectures, CPU models
may look different depending on machine and accelerator options. (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* "-cpu" arguments and global properties: arguments to the -cpu option and
global properties may affect expansion of CPU models. Using query-cpu-model-expansion while using these is not advised.
Some architectures may not support baselining CPU models. s390x supports baselining CPU models.
Returns: a CpuModelBaselineInfo. Returns an error if baselining CPU models is not supported, if a model cannot be used, if a model contains an unknown cpu definition name, unknown properties or properties with wrong types.
Note: this command isn't specific to s390x, but is only implemented on this architecture currently.
Since: 2.8
type QueryCpuModelBaselineCommand struct { Modela CpuModelInfo `json:"modela"` Modelb CpuModelInfo `json:"modelb"` }
Compares two CPU models, returning how they compare in a specific configuration. The results indicates how both models compare regarding runnability. This result can be used by tooling to make decisions if a certain CPU model will run in a certain configuration or if a compatible CPU model has to be created by baselining.
Usually, a CPU model is compared against the maximum possible CPU model of a certain configuration (e.g. the "host" model for KVM). If that CPU model is identical or a subset, it will run in that configuration.
The result returned by this command may be affected by:
* QEMU version: CPU models may look different depending on the QEMU version.
(Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* machine-type: CPU model may look different depending on the machine-type.
(Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* machine options (including accelerator): in some architectures, CPU models
may look different depending on machine and accelerator options. (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* "-cpu" arguments and global properties: arguments to the -cpu option and
global properties may affect expansion of CPU models. Using query-cpu-model-expansion while using these is not advised.
Some architectures may not support comparing CPU models. s390x supports comparing CPU models.
Returns: a CpuModelBaselineInfo. Returns an error if comparing CPU models is not supported, if a model cannot be used, if a model contains an unknown cpu definition name, unknown properties or properties with wrong types.
Note: this command isn't specific to s390x, but is only implemented on this architecture currently.
Since: 2.8
type QueryCpuModelComparisonCommand struct { Modela CpuModelInfo `json:"modela"` Modelb CpuModelInfo `json:"modelb"` }
Expands a given CPU model (or a combination of CPU model + additional options) to different granularities, allowing tooling to get an understanding what a specific CPU model looks like in QEMU under a certain configuration.
This interface can be used to query the "host" CPU model.
The data returned by this command may be affected by:
* QEMU version: CPU models may look different depending on the QEMU version.
(Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* machine-type: CPU model may look different depending on the machine-type.
(Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* machine options (including accelerator): in some architectures, CPU models
may look different depending on machine and accelerator options. (Except for CPU models reported as "static" in query-cpu-definitions.)
* "-cpu" arguments and global properties: arguments to the -cpu option and
global properties may affect expansion of CPU models. Using query-cpu-model-expansion while using these is not advised.
Some architectures may not support all expansion types. s390x supports "full" and "static". Arm only supports "full".
Returns: a CpuModelExpansionInfo. Returns an error if expanding CPU models is not supported, if the model cannot be expanded, if the model contains an unknown CPU definition name, unknown properties or properties with a wrong type. Also returns an error if an expansion type is not supported.

type QueryPrManagersCommand struct{}
Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of SchemaInfo. This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions that apply to QMP. It's interface introspection (figuring out what's there), not interface specification. The specification is in the QAPI schema.
Furthermore, while we strive to keep the QMP wire format backwards-compatible across qemu versions, the introspection output is not guaranteed to have the same stability. For example, one version of qemu may list an object member as an optional non-variant, while another lists the same member only through the object's variants; or the type of a member may change from a generic string into a specific enum or from one specific type into an alternate that includes the original type alongside something else.
Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...
The order of the various SchemaInfo is unspecified; however, all names are guaranteed to be unique (no name will be duplicated with different meta-types).
Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal* interfaces, by defining QAPI types. These are not part of the QMP wire ABI, and therefore not returned by this command.

Query the state of events.
Returns: a list of @TraceEventInfo for the matching events
An event is returned if:
- its name matches the @name pattern, and - if @vcpu is given, the event has the "vcpu" property.
Therefore, if @vcpu is given, the operation will only match per-vCPU events, returning their state on the specified vCPU. Special case: if @name is an exact match, @vcpu is given and the event does not have the "vcpu" property, an error is returned.

None: An event's state is modified if: - its name matches the @name pattern, and - if @vcpu is given, the event has the "vcpu" property.
Therefore, if @vcpu is given, the operation will only match per-vCPU events, setting their state on the specified vCPU. Special case: if @name is an exact match, @vcpu is given and the event does not have the "vcpu" property, an error is returned.

Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If any operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be abandoned and the appropriate error returned.
For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for the new snapshot, and the format. The default format, if not specified, is qcow2.
Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse an externally-created file. In the latter case, you should ensure that the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot perform any meaningful check. Typically this is achieved by using the current image file as the backing file for the new image.
On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's name. If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will be rejected. Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, and rbd,
On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the transaction. When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix it later with qemu-img or other command.
Returns: nothing on success
Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure. Therefore, there will be information on only one failed operation returned in an error condition, and subsequent actions will not have been attempted.
