   6                        QMP Supported Commands
   7                        ----------------------
   8
   9This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
  10
  11Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
  12means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
  13QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
  14
  15QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
  16usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
  17return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
  18
  19It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
  20a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
  21protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
  22
  23Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
  24
  25-> data issued by the Client
  26<- Server data response
  27
  28Please, refer to the QMP specification (QMP/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
  29information on the Server command and response formats.
  30
  31NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
  32
  331. Stability Considerations
  34===========================
  35
  36The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
  37number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
  38defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
  39
  40These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
  41and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
  42
  43If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
  44
  45    1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
  46       check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
  47       QEMU is available
  48
  49    2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
  50
  51    3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
  52       for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
  53       check for the "error" key)
  54
  552. Regular Commands
  56===================
  57
  58Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
  59refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.

 546            up on encountering NUL characters, after the ring buffer
 547            lost data, and when reading stops because the size limit
 548            is reached.

1002          If not specified, this is the deepest backing image
1003          (json-string, optional)
1004- "top":  The file name of the backing image within the image chain,
1005          which contains the topmost data to be committed down. If
1006          not specified, this is the active layer. (json-string, optional)
1007
1008- backing-file:     The backing file string to write into the overlay
1009                    image of 'top'.  If 'top' is the active layer,
1010                    specifying a backing file string is an error. This
1011                    filename is not validated.
1012
1013                    If a pathname string is such that it cannot be
1014                    resolved by QEMU, that means that subsequent QMP or
1015                    HMP commands must use node-names for the image in
1016                    question, as filename lookup methods will fail.
1017
1018                    If not specified, QEMU will automatically determine
1019                    the backing file string to use, or error out if
1020                    there is no obvious choice. Care should be taken
1021                    when specifying the string, to specify a valid
1022                    filename or protocol.
1023                    (json-string, optional) (Since 2.1)
1024
1025          If top == base, that is an error.
1026          If top == active, the job will not be completed by itself,
1027          user needs to complete the job with the block-job-complete
1028          command after getting the ready event. (Since 2.0)
1029
1030          If the base image is smaller than top, then the base image
1031          will be resized to be the same size as top.  If top is
1032          smaller than the base image, the base will not be
1033          truncated.  If you want the base image size to match the
1034          size of the smaller top, you can safely truncate it
1035          yourself once the commit operation successfully completes.

1135Atomically operate on one or more block devices.  The only supported operations
1136for now are drive-backup, internal and external snapshotting.  A list of
1137dictionaries is accepted, that contains the actions to be performed.
1138If there is any failure performing any of the operations, all operations
1139for the group are abandoned.
1140
1141For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
1142the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if not specified, is
1143qcow2.
1144
1145Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
1146contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
1147an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should ensure that
1148the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
1149perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is achieved by using the
1150current image file as the backing file for the new image.
1151
1152On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
1153
1154For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
1155name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
1156be rejected.  Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
1157and sheepdog.
1158
1159On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
1160transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
1161it later with qemu-img or other command.

1338              (json-string, optional)

1340  file/device (NewImageMode, optional, default 'absolute-paths')

1344- "buf_size": maximum amount of data in flight from source to target, in bytes
1345  (json-int, default 10M)
1346- "sync": what parts of the disk image should be copied to the destination;
1347  possibilities include "full" for all the disk, "top" for only the sectors
1348  allocated in the topmost image, or "none" to only replicate new I/O

1847(2) Limitations:
1848
1849    o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
1850      on state information (such as getfd) might not work
1851
1852    o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block

3021               This is designed to provide an accounting of any activities
3022               (such as RDMA pinning) which may be expensive, but do not

3036            byte (json-int)
3037            These are sent over the wire much more efficiently.
3038         - "skipped": number of skipped zero pages (json-int)
3039         - "normal" : number of whole pages transferred.  I.e. they
3040            were not sent as duplicate or xbzrle pages (json-int)
3041         - "normal-bytes" : number of bytes transferred in whole
3042            pages. This is just normal pages times size of one page,
3043            but this way upper levels don't need to care about page
3044            size (json-int)

3046- "disk": only present if "status" is "active" and it is a block migration,

3049         - "remaining": amount remaining to transfer in bytes json-int)
3050         - "total": total disk size in bytes (json-int)
3051- "xbzrle-cache": only present if XBZRLE is active.
3052  It is a json-object with the following XBZRLE information:
3053         - "cache-size": XBZRLE cache size in bytes
3054         - "bytes": number of bytes transferred for XBZRLE compressed pages
3055         - "pages": number of XBZRLE compressed pages
3056         - "cache-miss": number of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3057         - "cache-miss-rate": rate of XBRZRLE page cache misses
3058         - "overflow": number of times XBZRLE overflows.  This means
3059           that the XBZRLE encoding was bigger than just sent the
3060           whole page, and then we sent the whole page instead (as as
3061           normal page).
