- QEMU Monitor Protocol
- =====================
-
-Introduction
--------------
-
-The QEMU Monitor Protocol (QMP) allows applications to communicate with
-QEMU's Monitor.
-
-QMP is JSON[1] based and currently has the following features:
-
-- Lightweight, text-based, easy to parse data format
-- Asynchronous messages support (ie. events)
-- Capabilities Negotiation
-
-For detailed information on QMP's usage, please, refer to the following files:
-
-o qmp-spec.txt QEMU Monitor Protocol current specification
-o qmp-commands.txt QMP supported commands (auto-generated at build-time)
-o qmp-events.txt List of available asynchronous events
-
-There is also a simple Python script called 'qmp-shell' available.
-
-IMPORTANT: It's strongly recommended to read the 'Stability Considerations'
-section in the qmp-commands.txt file before making any serious use of QMP.
-
-
-[1] http://www.json.org
-
-Usage
------
-
-To enable QMP, you need a QEMU monitor instance in "control mode". There are
-two ways of doing this.
-
-The simplest one is using the '-qmp' command-line option. The following
-example makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
-
- $ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server
-
-However, in order to have more complex combinations, like multiple monitors,
-the '-mon' command-line option should be used along with the '-chardev' one.
-For instance, the following example creates one user monitor on stdio and one
-QMP monitor on localhost port 4444.
-
- $ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
- -chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server \
- -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control
-
-Please, refer to QEMU's manpage for more information.
-
-Simple Testing
---------------
-
-To manually test QMP one can connect with telnet and issue commands by hand:
-
-$ telnet localhost 4444
-Trying 127.0.0.1...
-Connected to localhost.
-Escape character is '^]'.
-{"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 13, "major": 0}, "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
-{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
-{"return": {}}
-{ "execute": "query-version" }
-{"return": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 13, "major": 0}, "package": ""}}
-
-Development Process
--------------------
-
-When changing QMP's interface (by adding new commands, events or modifying
-existing ones) it's mandatory to update the relevant documentation, which is
-one (or more) of the files listed in the 'Introduction' section*.
-
-Also, it's strongly recommended to send the documentation patch first, before
-doing any code change. This is so because:
-
- 1. Avoids the code dictating the interface
-
- 2. Review can improve your interface. Letting that happen before
- you implement it can save you work.
-
-* The qmp-commands.txt file is generated from the qmp-commands.hx one, which
- is the file that should be edited.

- QEMU Monitor Protocol Specification - Version 0.1
-
-1. Introduction
-===============
-
-This document specifies the QEMU Monitor Protocol (QMP), a JSON-based protocol
-which is available for applications to control QEMU at the machine-level.
-
-To enable QMP support, QEMU has to be run in "control mode". This is done by
-starting QEMU with the appropriate command-line options. Please, refer to the
-QEMU manual page for more information.
-
-2. Protocol Specification
-=========================
-
-This section details the protocol format. For the purpose of this document
-"Client" is any application which is communicating with QEMU in control mode,
-and "Server" is QEMU itself.
-
-JSON data structures, when mentioned in this document, are always in the
-following format:
-
- json-DATA-STRUCTURE-NAME
-
-Where DATA-STRUCTURE-NAME is any valid JSON data structure, as defined by
-the JSON standard:
-
-http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt
-
-For convenience, json-object members and json-array elements mentioned in
-this document will be in a certain order. However, in real protocol usage
-they can be in ANY order, thus no particular order should be assumed.
-
-2.1 General Definitions
------------------------
-
-2.1.1 All interactions transmitted by the Server are json-objects, always
- terminating with CRLF
-
-2.1.2 All json-objects members are mandatory when not specified otherwise
-
-2.2 Server Greeting
--------------------
-
-Right when connected the Server will issue a greeting message, which signals
-that the connection has been successfully established and that the Server is
-ready for capabilities negotiation (for more information refer to section
-'4. Capabilities Negotiation').
-
-The format is:
-
-{ "QMP": { "version": json-object, "capabilities": json-array } }
-
- Where,
-
-- The "version" member contains the Server's version information (the format
- is the same of the 'query-version' command)
-- The "capabilities" member specify the availability of features beyond the
- baseline specification
-
-2.3 Issuing Commands
---------------------
-
-The format for command execution is:
-
-{ "execute": json-string, "arguments": json-object, "id": json-value }
-
- Where,
-
-- The "execute" member identifies the command to be executed by the Server
-- The "arguments" member is used to pass any arguments required for the
- execution of the command, it is optional when no arguments are required
-- The "id" member is a transaction identification associated with the
- command execution, it is optional and will be part of the response if
- provided
-
-2.4 Commands Responses
-----------------------
-
-There are two possible responses which the Server will issue as the result
-of a command execution: success or error.
-
-2.4.1 success
--------------
-
-The success response is issued when the command execution has finished
-without errors.
-
-The format is:
-
-{ "return": json-object, "id": json-value }
-
- Where,
-
-- The "return" member contains the command returned data, which is defined
- in a per-command basis or an empty json-object if the command does not
- return data
-- The "id" member contains the transaction identification associated
- with the command execution (if issued by the Client)
-
-2.4.2 error
------------
-
-The error response is issued when the command execution could not be
-completed because of an error condition.
-
-The format is:
-
-{ "error": { "class": json-string, "desc": json-string }, "id": json-value }
-
- Where,
-
-- The "class" member contains the error class name (eg. "GenericError")
-- The "desc" member is a human-readable error message. Clients should
- not attempt to parse this message.
-- The "id" member contains the transaction identification associated with
- the command execution (if issued by the Client)
-
-NOTE: Some errors can occur before the Server is able to read the "id" member,
-in these cases the "id" member will not be part of the error response, even
-if provided by the client.
-
-2.5 Asynchronous events
------------------------
-
-As a result of state changes, the Server may send messages unilaterally
-to the Client at any time. They are called 'asynchronous events'.
-
-The format is:
-
-{ "event": json-string, "data": json-object,
- "timestamp": { "seconds": json-number, "microseconds": json-number } }
-
- Where,
-
-- The "event" member contains the event's name
-- The "data" member contains event specific data, which is defined in a
- per-event basis, it is optional
-- The "timestamp" member contains the exact time of when the event occurred
- in the Server. It is a fixed json-object with time in seconds and
- microseconds
-
-For a listing of supported asynchronous events, please, refer to the
-qmp-events.txt file.
-
-3. QMP Examples
-===============
-
-This section provides some examples of real QMP usage, in all of them
-'C' stands for 'Client' and 'S' stands for 'Server'.
-
-3.1 Server greeting
--------------------
-
-S: {"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": "0.12.50", "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
-
-3.2 Simple 'stop' execution
----------------------------
-
-C: { "execute": "stop" }
-S: {"return": {}}
-
-3.3 KVM information
--------------------
-
-C: { "execute": "query-kvm", "id": "example" }
-S: {"return": {"enabled": true, "present": true}, "id": "example"}
-
-3.4 Parsing error
-------------------
-
-C: { "execute": }
-S: {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid JSON syntax" } }
-
-3.5 Powerdown event
--------------------
-
-S: {"timestamp": {"seconds": 1258551470, "microseconds": 802384}, "event":
-"POWERDOWN"}
-
-4. Capabilities Negotiation
-----------------------------
-
-When a Client successfully establishes a connection, the Server is in
-Capabilities Negotiation mode.
-
-In this mode only the 'qmp_capabilities' command is allowed to run, all
-other commands will return the CommandNotFound error. Asynchronous messages
-are not delivered either.
-
-Clients should use the 'qmp_capabilities' command to enable capabilities
-advertised in the Server's greeting (section '2.2 Server Greeting') they
-support.
-
-When the 'qmp_capabilities' command is issued, and if it does not return an
-error, the Server enters in Command mode where capabilities changes take
-effect, all commands (except 'qmp_capabilities') are allowed and asynchronous
-messages are delivered.
-
-5 Compatibility Considerations
-------------------------------
-
-All protocol changes or new features which modify the protocol format in an
-incompatible way are disabled by default and will be advertised by the
-capabilities array (section '2.2 Server Greeting'). Thus, Clients can check
-that array and enable the capabilities they support.
-
-The QMP Server performs a type check on the arguments to a command. It
-generates an error if a value does not have the expected type for its
-key, or if it does not understand a key that the Client included. The
-strictness of the Server catches wrong assumptions of Clients about
-the Server's schema. Clients can assume that, when such validation
-errors occur, they will be reported before the command generated any
-side effect.
-
-However, Clients must not assume any particular:
-
-- Length of json-arrays
-- Size of json-objects; in particular, future versions of QEMU may add
- new keys and Clients should be able to ignore them.
-- Order of json-object members or json-array elements
-- Amount of errors generated by a command, that is, new errors can be added
- to any existing command in newer versions of the Server
-
-Of course, the Server does guarantee to send valid JSON. But apart from
-this, a Client should be "conservative in what they send, and liberal in
-what they accept".
-
-6. Downstream extension of QMP
-------------------------------
-
-We recommend that downstream consumers of QEMU do *not* modify QMP.
-Management tools should be able to support both upstream and downstream
-versions of QMP without special logic, and downstream extensions are
-inherently at odds with that.
-
-However, we recognize that it is sometimes impossible for downstreams to
-avoid modifying QMP. Both upstream and downstream need to take care to
-preserve long-term compatibility and interoperability.
-
-To help with that, QMP reserves JSON object member names beginning with
-'__' (double underscore) for downstream use ("downstream names"). This
-means upstream will never use any downstream names for its commands,
-arguments, errors, asynchronous events, and so forth.
-
-Any new names downstream wishes to add must begin with '__'. To
-ensure compatibility with other downstreams, it is strongly
-recommended that you prefix your downstram names with '__RFQDN_' where
-RFQDN is a valid, reverse fully qualified domain name which you
-control. For example, a qemu-kvm specific monitor command would be:
-
- (qemu) __org.linux-kvm_enable_irqchip
-
-Downstream must not change the server greeting (section 2.2) other than
-to offer additional capabilities. But see below for why even that is
-discouraged.
-
-Section '5 Compatibility Considerations' applies to downstream as well
-as to upstream, obviously. It follows that downstream must behave
-exactly like upstream for any input not containing members with
-downstream names ("downstream members"), except it may add members
-with downstream names to its output.
-
-Thus, a client should not be able to distinguish downstream from
-upstream as long as it doesn't send input with downstream members, and
-properly ignores any downstream members in the output it receives.
-
-Advice on downstream modifications:
-
-1. Introducing new commands is okay. If you want to extend an existing
- command, consider introducing a new one with the new behaviour
- instead.
-
-2. Introducing new asynchronous messages is okay. If you want to extend
- an existing message, consider adding a new one instead.
-
-3. Introducing new errors for use in new commands is okay. Adding new
- errors to existing commands counts as extension, so 1. applies.
-
-4. New capabilities are strongly discouraged. Capabilities are for
- evolving the basic protocol, and multiple diverging basic protocol
- dialects are most undesirable.

+ QEMU Monitor Protocol
+ =====================
+
+Introduction
+-------------
+
+The QEMU Monitor Protocol (QMP) allows applications to communicate with
+QEMU's Monitor.
+
+QMP is JSON[1] based and currently has the following features:
+
+- Lightweight, text-based, easy to parse data format
+- Asynchronous messages support (ie. events)
+- Capabilities Negotiation
+
+For detailed information on QMP's usage, please, refer to the following files:
+
+o qmp-spec.txt QEMU Monitor Protocol current specification
+o qmp-commands.txt QMP supported commands (auto-generated at build-time)
+o qmp-events.txt List of available asynchronous events
+
+There is also a simple Python script called 'qmp-shell' available.
+
+IMPORTANT: It's strongly recommended to read the 'Stability Considerations'
+section in the qmp-commands.txt file before making any serious use of QMP.
+
+
+[1] http://www.json.org
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+To enable QMP, you need a QEMU monitor instance in "control mode". There are
+two ways of doing this.
+
+The simplest one is using the '-qmp' command-line option. The following
+example makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
+
+ $ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server
+
+However, in order to have more complex combinations, like multiple monitors,
+the '-mon' command-line option should be used along with the '-chardev' one.
+For instance, the following example creates one user monitor on stdio and one
+QMP monitor on localhost port 4444.
+
+ $ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
+ -chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server \
+ -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control
+
+Please, refer to QEMU's manpage for more information.
+
+Simple Testing
+--------------
+
+To manually test QMP one can connect with telnet and issue commands by hand:
+
+$ telnet localhost 4444
+Trying 127.0.0.1...
+Connected to localhost.
+Escape character is '^]'.
+{"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 13, "major": 0}, "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
+{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
+{"return": {}}
+{ "execute": "query-version" }
+{"return": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 13, "major": 0}, "package": ""}}
+
+Development Process
+-------------------
+
+When changing QMP's interface (by adding new commands, events or modifying
+existing ones) it's mandatory to update the relevant documentation, which is
+one (or more) of the files listed in the 'Introduction' section*.
+
+Also, it's strongly recommended to send the documentation patch first, before
+doing any code change. This is so because:
+
+ 1. Avoids the code dictating the interface
+
+ 2. Review can improve your interface. Letting that happen before
+ you implement it can save you work.
+
+* The qmp-commands.txt file is generated from the qmp-commands.hx one, which
+ is the file that should be edited.

+To enable QMP support, QEMU has to be run in "control mode". This is done by
+starting QEMU with the appropriate command-line options. Please, refer to the
+QEMU manual page for more information.
+
+2. Protocol Specification
+=========================
+
+This section details the protocol format. For the purpose of this document
+"Client" is any application which is communicating with QEMU in control mode,
+and "Server" is QEMU itself.
+
+JSON data structures, when mentioned in this document, are always in the
+following format:
+
+ json-DATA-STRUCTURE-NAME
+
+Where DATA-STRUCTURE-NAME is any valid JSON data structure, as defined by
+the JSON standard:
+
+http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt
+
+For convenience, json-object members and json-array elements mentioned in
+this document will be in a certain order. However, in real protocol usage
+they can be in ANY order, thus no particular order should be assumed.
+
+2.1 General Definitions
+-----------------------
+
+2.1.1 All interactions transmitted by the Server are json-objects, always
+ terminating with CRLF
+
+2.1.2 All json-objects members are mandatory when not specified otherwise
+
+2.2 Server Greeting
+-------------------
+
+Right when connected the Server will issue a greeting message, which signals
+that the connection has been successfully established and that the Server is
+ready for capabilities negotiation (for more information refer to section
+'4. Capabilities Negotiation').
+
+The format is:
+
+{ "QMP": { "version": json-object, "capabilities": json-array } }
+
+ Where,
+
+- The "version" member contains the Server's version information (the format
+ is the same of the 'query-version' command)
+- The "capabilities" member specify the availability of features beyond the
+ baseline specification
+
+2.3 Issuing Commands
+--------------------
+
+The format for command execution is:
+
+{ "execute": json-string, "arguments": json-object, "id": json-value }
+
+ Where,
+
+- The "execute" member identifies the command to be executed by the Server
+- The "arguments" member is used to pass any arguments required for the
+ execution of the command, it is optional when no arguments are required
+- The "id" member is a transaction identification associated with the
+ command execution, it is optional and will be part of the response if
+ provided
+
+2.4 Commands Responses
+----------------------
+
+There are two possible responses which the Server will issue as the result
+of a command execution: success or error.
+
+2.4.1 success
+-------------
+
+The success response is issued when the command execution has finished
+without errors.
+
+The format is:
+
+{ "return": json-object, "id": json-value }
+
+ Where,
+
+- The "return" member contains the command returned data, which is defined
+ in a per-command basis or an empty json-object if the command does not
+ return data
+- The "id" member contains the transaction identification associated
+ with the command execution (if issued by the Client)
+
+2.4.2 error
+-----------
+
+The error response is issued when the command execution could not be
+completed because of an error condition.
+
+The format is:
+
+{ "error": { "class": json-string, "desc": json-string }, "id": json-value }
+
+ Where,
+
+- The "class" member contains the error class name (eg. "GenericError")
+- The "desc" member is a human-readable error message. Clients should
+ not attempt to parse this message.
+- The "id" member contains the transaction identification associated with
+ the command execution (if issued by the Client)
+
+NOTE: Some errors can occur before the Server is able to read the "id" member,
+in these cases the "id" member will not be part of the error response, even
+if provided by the client.
+
+2.5 Asynchronous events
+-----------------------
+
+As a result of state changes, the Server may send messages unilaterally
+to the Client at any time. They are called 'asynchronous events'.
+
+The format is:
+
+{ "event": json-string, "data": json-object,
+ "timestamp": { "seconds": json-number, "microseconds": json-number } }
+
+ Where,
+
+- The "event" member contains the event's name
+- The "data" member contains event specific data, which is defined in a
+ per-event basis, it is optional
+- The "timestamp" member contains the exact time of when the event occurred
+ in the Server. It is a fixed json-object with time in seconds and
+ microseconds
+
+For a listing of supported asynchronous events, please, refer to the
+qmp-events.txt file.
+
+3. QMP Examples
+===============
+
+This section provides some examples of real QMP usage, in all of them
+'C' stands for 'Client' and 'S' stands for 'Server'.
+
+3.1 Server greeting
+-------------------
+
+S: {"QMP": {"version": {"qemu": "0.12.50", "package": ""}, "capabilities": []}}
+
+3.2 Simple 'stop' execution
+---------------------------
+
+C: { "execute": "stop" }
+S: {"return": {}}
+
+3.3 KVM information
+-------------------
+
+C: { "execute": "query-kvm", "id": "example" }
+S: {"return": {"enabled": true, "present": true}, "id": "example"}
+
+3.4 Parsing error
+------------------
+
+C: { "execute": }
+S: {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid JSON syntax" } }
+
+3.5 Powerdown event
+-------------------
+
+S: {"timestamp": {"seconds": 1258551470, "microseconds": 802384}, "event":
+"POWERDOWN"}
+
+4. Capabilities Negotiation
+----------------------------
+
+When a Client successfully establishes a connection, the Server is in
+Capabilities Negotiation mode.
+
+In this mode only the 'qmp_capabilities' command is allowed to run, all
+other commands will return the CommandNotFound error. Asynchronous messages
+are not delivered either.
+
+Clients should use the 'qmp_capabilities' command to enable capabilities
+advertised in the Server's greeting (section '2.2 Server Greeting') they
+support.
+
+When the 'qmp_capabilities' command is issued, and if it does not return an
+error, the Server enters in Command mode where capabilities changes take
+effect, all commands (except 'qmp_capabilities') are allowed and asynchronous
+messages are delivered.
+
+5 Compatibility Considerations
+------------------------------
+
+All protocol changes or new features which modify the protocol format in an
+incompatible way are disabled by default and will be advertised by the
+capabilities array (section '2.2 Server Greeting'). Thus, Clients can check
+that array and enable the capabilities they support.
+
+The QMP Server performs a type check on the arguments to a command. It
+generates an error if a value does not have the expected type for its
+key, or if it does not understand a key that the Client included. The
+strictness of the Server catches wrong assumptions of Clients about
+the Server's schema. Clients can assume that, when such validation
+errors occur, they will be reported before the command generated any
+side effect.
+
+However, Clients must not assume any particular:
+
+- Length of json-arrays
+- Size of json-objects; in particular, future versions of QEMU may add
+ new keys and Clients should be able to ignore them.
+- Order of json-object members or json-array elements
+- Amount of errors generated by a command, that is, new errors can be added
+ to any existing command in newer versions of the Server
+
+Of course, the Server does guarantee to send valid JSON. But apart from
+this, a Client should be "conservative in what they send, and liberal in
+what they accept".
+
+6. Downstream extension of QMP
+------------------------------
+
+We recommend that downstream consumers of QEMU do *not* modify QMP.
+Management tools should be able to support both upstream and downstream
+versions of QMP without special logic, and downstream extensions are
+inherently at odds with that.
+
+However, we recognize that it is sometimes impossible for downstreams to
+avoid modifying QMP. Both upstream and downstream need to take care to
+preserve long-term compatibility and interoperability.
+
+To help with that, QMP reserves JSON object member names beginning with
+'__' (double underscore) for downstream use ("downstream names"). This
+means upstream will never use any downstream names for its commands,
+arguments, errors, asynchronous events, and so forth.
+
+Any new names downstream wishes to add must begin with '__'. To
+ensure compatibility with other downstreams, it is strongly
+recommended that you prefix your downstram names with '__RFQDN_' where
+RFQDN is a valid, reverse fully qualified domain name which you
+control. For example, a qemu-kvm specific monitor command would be:
+
+ (qemu) __org.linux-kvm_enable_irqchip
+
+Downstream must not change the server greeting (section 2.2) other than
+to offer additional capabilities. But see below for why even that is
+discouraged.
+
+Section '5 Compatibility Considerations' applies to downstream as well
+as to upstream, obviously. It follows that downstream must behave
+exactly like upstream for any input not containing members with
+downstream names ("downstream members"), except it may add members
+with downstream names to its output.
+
+Thus, a client should not be able to distinguish downstream from
+upstream as long as it doesn't send input with downstream members, and
+properly ignores any downstream members in the output it receives.
+
+Advice on downstream modifications:
+
+1. Introducing new commands is okay. If you want to extend an existing
+ command, consider introducing a new one with the new behaviour
+ instead.
+
+2. Introducing new asynchronous messages is okay. If you want to extend
+ an existing message, consider adding a new one instead.
+
+3. Introducing new errors for use in new commands is okay. Adding new
+ errors to existing commands counts as extension, so 1. applies.
+
+4. New capabilities are strongly discouraged. Capabilities are for
+ evolving the basic protocol, and multiple diverging basic protocol
+ dialects are most undesirable.

Usage
-----
-To enable QMP, you need a QEMU monitor instance in "control mode". There are
-two ways of doing this.
+You can use the -qmp option to enable QMP. For example, the following
+makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
-The simplest one is using the '-qmp' command-line option. The following
-example makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
+$ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server,nowait
- $ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server
+However, for more flexibility and to make use of more options, the -mon
+command-line option should be used. For instance, the following example
+creates one HMP instance (human monitor) on stdio and one QMP instance
+on localhost port 4444:
-However, in order to have more complex combinations, like multiple monitors,
-the '-mon' command-line option should be used along with the '-chardev' one.
-For instance, the following example creates one user monitor on stdio and one
-QMP monitor on localhost port 4444.
-
- $ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
- -chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server \
- -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control
+$ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
+ -chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server,nowait \
+ -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control,pretty=on
Please, refer to QEMU's manpage for more information.

-When changing QMP's interface (by adding new commands, events or modifying

-one (or more) of the files listed in the 'Introduction' section*.
-
-Also, it's strongly recommended to send the documentation patch first, before
-doing any code change. This is so because:
-
- 1. Avoids the code dictating the interface
-
- 2. Review can improve your interface. Letting that happen before
- you implement it can save you work.
