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 Machine Protocol
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The QEMU Machine Protocol (QMP) allows applications to operate a
|
||||
QEMU instance.
|
||||
|
||||
QMP is JSON[1] based and features the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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 Machine Protocol current specification
|
||||
o qmp-commands.txt QMP supported commands (auto-generated at build-time)
|
||||
o qmp-events.txt List of available asynchronous events
|
||||
|
||||
[1] http://www.json.org
|
||||
|
||||
Usage
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the -qmp option to enable QMP. For example, the following
|
||||
makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
|
||||
|
||||
$ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server,nowait
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
$ 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
|
||||
|
||||
