John Snow f414048e32 python: synchronize qemu.qmp documentation
This patch collects comments and documentation changes from many commits
in the python-qemu-qmp repository; bringing the qemu.git copy in
bit-identical alignment with the standalone library *except* for several
copyright messages that reference the "LICENSE" file which is, for QEMU,
named "COPYING" instead and are therefore left unchanged.

qmp-shell - An interactive QEMU shell powered by QMP
qmp-shell offers a simple shell with a convenient shorthand syntax as an
alternative to typing JSON by hand. This syntax is not standardized and
is not meant to be used as a scriptable interface. This shorthand *may*
change incompatibly in the future, and it is strongly encouraged to use
the QMP library to provide API-stable scripting when needed.
usage: qmp-shell [-h] [-H] [-v] [-p] [-l LOGFILE] [-N] qmp_server
positional arguments:
qmp_server < UNIX socket path | TCP address:port >
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-H, --hmp Use HMP interface
-v, --verbose Verbose (echo commands sent and received)
-p, --pretty Pretty-print JSON
-l LOGFILE, --logfile LOGFILE
Save log of all QMP messages to PATH
-N, --skip-negotiation
Skip negotiate (for qemu-ga)
Usage
-----
First, start QEMU with::
> qemu [...] -qmp unix:./qmp-sock,server=on[,wait=off]
Then run the shell, passing the address of the socket::
> qmp-shell ./qmp-sock
Syntax
------
Commands have the following format::
< command-name > [ arg-name1=arg1 ] ... [ arg-nameN=argN ]
For example, to add a network device::
(QEMU) device_add driver=e1000 id=net1
{'return': {}}
(QEMU)
key=value pairs support either Python or JSON object literal notations,
**without spaces**. Dictionaries/objects ``{}`` are supported, as are
arrays ``[]``::
example-command arg-name1={'key':'value','obj'={'prop':"value"}}
Either JSON or Python formatting for compound values works, including
both styles of string literal quotes (either single or double
quotes). Both paradigms of literal values are accepted, including
``null/true/false`` for JSON and ``None/True/False`` for Python.
Transactions
------------
Transactions have the following multi-line format::
transaction(
action-name1 [ arg-name1=arg1 ] ... [arg-nameN=argN ]
...
action-nameN [ arg-name1=arg1 ] ... [arg-nameN=argN ]
)
One line transactions are also supported::
transaction( action-name1 ... )
For example::
(QEMU) transaction(
TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap1
TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-clear node=drive0 name=bitmap0
TRANS> )
{"return": {}}
(QEMU)
Commands
--------
Autocomplete of command names using <tab> is supported. Pressing <tab>
at a blank CLI prompt will show you a list of all available commands
that the connected QEMU instance supports.
For documentation on QMP commands and their arguments, please see
`qmp ref`.
Events
------
qmp-shell will display events received from the server, but this version
does not do so asynchronously. To check for new events from the server,
press <enter> on a blank line::
(QEMU) ⏎
{'timestamp': {'seconds': 1660071944, 'microseconds': 184667},
'event': 'STOP'}
Display options
---------------
Use the -v and -p options to activate the verbose and pretty-print
options, which will echo back the properly formatted JSON-compliant QMP
that is being sent to QEMU. This is useful for debugging to see the
wire-level QMP data being exchanged, and generating output for use in
writing documentation for QEMU.
