# = QMP introspection
##

##
# @query-qmp-schema:
#
# Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
# SchemaInfo.  This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
# events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
#
# However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions
# that apply to QMP.  It's interface introspection (figuring out
# what's there), not interface specification.  The specification is in
# the QAPI schema.
#
# Furthermore, while we strive to keep the QMP wire format
# backwards-compatible across qemu versions, the introspection output
# is not guaranteed to have the same stability.  For example, one
# version of qemu may list an object member as an optional
# non-variant, while another lists the same member only through the
# object's variants; or the type of a member may change from a generic
# string into a specific enum or from one specific type into an
# alternate that includes the original type alongside something else.
#
# Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an
# entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...
#
# The order of the various SchemaInfo is unspecified; however, all
# names are guaranteed to be unique (no name will be duplicated with
# different meta-types).
#
# Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal*
# interfaces, by defining QAPI types.  These are not part of the QMP
# wire ABI, and therefore not returned by this command.
#
# Since: 2.5

# @SchemaInfo:
#
# @name: the entity's name, inherited from @base.
#        The SchemaInfo is always referenced by this name.

#        Unlike command and event names, type names are not part of
#        the wire ABI.  Consequently, type names are meaningless
#        strings here, although they are still guaranteed unique
#        regardless of @meta-type.
#
# @meta-type: the entity's meta type, inherited from @base.
#
# Additional members depend on the value of @meta-type.
