With the current 'qmp-shell' tool developers must first spawn QEMU with a suitable -qmp arg and then spawn qmp-shell in a separate terminal pointing to the right socket. With 'qmp-shell-wrap' developers can ignore QMP sockets entirely and just pass the QEMU command and arguments they want. The program will listen on a UNIX socket and tell QEMU to connect QMP to that. For example, this: # qmp-shell-wrap -- qemu-system-x86_64 -display none Is roughly equivalent of running: # qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -qmp qmp-shell-1234 & # qmp-shell qmp-shell-1234 Except that 'qmp-shell-wrap' switches the socket peers around so that it is the UNIX socket server and QEMU is the socket client. This makes QEMU reliably go away when qmp-shell-wrap exits, closing the server socket. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
