This file contains a copy of the following information from the
qemu-monitor.hx file:
o QObject handlers entries
o QMP documentation (all SQMP/EQMP sections)
Right now it's only used to generate the QMP docs in QMP/, but
next commits will turn this into QMP's command dispatch table.
It's important to note that QObject handlers entries are going
to get duplicated: they will exist in both QMP's and HMP's
dispatch tables.
This will be fixed in the near future, when we add a proper
QMP call interface and HMP is converted to use it. This way we
can completely drop QObject handlers entries from HMP's tables.
NOTE: HMP specific constructions, like "q|quit", have been dropped.

This command was of minimal use before, now it is useless as the hpet
become a qdev device and is thus easily discoverable. We should
definitely not set query-hpet in QMP's stone, and there is also no good
reason to keep it for the interactive monitor.

One of the most important missing feature in QMP today is its
supported commands documentation.
The plan is to make it part of self-description support, however
self-description is a big task we have been postponing for a
long time now and still don't know when it's going to be done.
In order not to compromise QMP adoption and make users' life easier,
this commit adds a simple text documentation which fully describes
all QMP supported commands.
This is not ideal for a number of reasons (harder to maintain,
text-only, etc) but does improve the current situation. To avoid at
least divering from the user monitor help and texi snippets, QMP bits
are also maintained inside qemu-monitor.hx, and hxtool is extended to
generate a single text file from them.

It's emitted when the Virtual Machine resumes execution.
We currently have the STOP event but don't have the matching
RESUME one, this means that clients are notified when the VM
is stopped but don't get anything when it resumes.
Let's fix that as it's already causing some trouble to libvirt.

This event has been introduced in the first round of QMP commits,
turns out that it's based on the usage of the EXCP_DEBUG macro,
which has discussable semantics when exposed through QMP.
As libvirt doesn't use this, let's just drop it.

With capability negotiation support clients will only have a chance
to check QEMU's version (ie. issue 'query-version') after the
negotiation procedure is done.
It might be useful to clients to check QEMU's version before
negotiating features, though.
To allow that, this commit adds the QEMU's version object to the
greeting message.
Not really sure this is needed, but doesn't hurt anyway.

It's emitted when a VNC client session is activated by QEMU,
client's information such as port, IP and auth ID (if the
session is authenticated) are provided.

It's emitted when a VNC client connects to QEMU, client's information
such as port and IP address are provided.
Note that this event is emitted right when the connection is
established. This means that it happens before authentication
procedure and session initialization.
Event example:
{ "event": "VNC_CONNECTED",
"timestamp": { "seconds": 1262976601, "microseconds": 975795 },
"data": {
"server": { "auth": "sasl", "family": "ipv4",
"service": "5901", "host": "0.0.0.0" },
"client": { "family": "ipv4", "service": "58425",

This is a very simple shell written in Python for demonstration
purposes.
Unfortunately it's a bit awkward right now, as the user has
to specify the arguments names and the printed data can be
a raw dictionary or list, like the following example:
(QEMU) pci_add pci_addr=auto type=nic
{u'slot': 5, u'bus': 0, u'domain': 0, u'function': 0}
(QEMU)
It's worth to note that the shell is broken into two files.
One is the shell itself, the other is the QMP class which
handles the communication with QEMU.
