 141# Notes: This function will succeed even if the guest is already in the stopped

 166#        starts once migration finishes, removing the effect of the -S
 167#        command line option if it was passed.

 184# and via the QMP monitor during the preconfig state. The command is only
 185# available during the preconfig state (i.e. when the --preconfig command
 186# line option was in use).
 187#
 188# Since 3.0

 210# @savevm-monitor-nodes: If present, HMP command savevm only snapshots
 211#                        monitor-owned nodes if they have no parents.
 212#                        This allows the use of 'savevm' with
 213#                        -blockdev. (since 4.2)

 219# Notes: This command only exists as a stop-gap.  Its use is highly
 220#        discouraged.  The semantics of this command are not
 221#        guaranteed: this means that command names, arguments and
 222#        responses can change or be removed at ANY time.  Applications
 223#        that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
 224#        use this command.

 228#        * This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
 229#          on state information (such as getfd) might not work
 230#
