#
# Return runtime-collected statistics for objects such as the

# @StatsSchemaValue:

#
# @name: name of the statistic; each element of the schema is uniquely
#        identified by a target, a provider (both available in @StatsSchema)
#        and the name.
#
# @type: kind of statistic.
#
# @unit: basic unit of measure for the statistic; if missing, the statistic
#        is a simple number or counter.
#
# @base: base for the multiple of @unit in which the statistic is measured.
#        Only present if @exponent is non-zero; @base and @exponent together
#        form a SI prefix (e.g., _nano-_ for ``base=10`` and ``exponent=-9``)
#        or IEC binary prefix (e.g. _kibi-_ for ``base=2`` and ``exponent=10``)
#
# @exponent: exponent for the multiple of @unit in which the statistic is
#            expressed, or 0 for the basic unit
#
# @bucket-size: Present when @type is "linear-histogram", contains the width
#               of each bucket of the histogram.
#
# Since: 7.1

#
# Schema for all available statistics for a provider and target.

##
# @query-stats-schemas:
#
# Return the schema for all available runtime-collected statistics.
#
# Note: runtime-collected statistics and their names fall outside QEMU's usual
#       deprecation policies.  QEMU will try to keep the set of available data
#       stable, together with their names, but will not guarantee stability
#       at all costs; the same is true of providers that source statistics
#       externally, e.g. from Linux.  For example, if the same value is being
#       tracked with different names on different architectures or by different
#       providers, one of them might be renamed.  A statistic might go away if
#       an algorithm is changed or some code is removed; changing a default
#       might cause previously useful statistics to always report 0.  Such
#       changes, however, are expected to be rare.
