+# @guest-set-time:
+#
+# Set guest time.
+#
+# When a guest is paused or migrated to a file then loaded
+# from that file, the guest OS has no idea that there
+# was a big gap in the time. Depending on how long the
+# gap was, NTP might not be able to resynchronize the
+# guest.
+#
+# This command tries to set guest time to the given value,
+# then sets the Hardware Clock to the current System Time.
+# This will make it easier for a guest to resynchronize
+# without waiting for NTP.
+#
+# @time: time of nanoseconds, relative to the Epoch of
+#        1970-01-01 in UTC.
+#
+# Returns: Nothing on success.
+#
+# Since: 1.5
