Subject: [PATCH v8 10/12] qmp: add chardev-window-size-changed command
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 18:38:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929-console-resize-v8-10-2ff9183f8750@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929-console-resize-v8-0-2ff9183f8750@gmail.com>
From: Szymon Lukasz <noh4hss@gmail.com>
The managment software can use this command to notify QEMU about the
size of the terminal connected to a chardev, QEMU can then forward this
information to the guest if the chardev is connected to a virtio console
device.
