Subject: [PATCH RFC v5 07/12] qmp: add chardev-window-size-changed command
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 01:45:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250921-console-resize-v5-7-89e3c6727060@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250921-console-resize-v5-0-89e3c6727060@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.
