- 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-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
+
+Please, refer to QEMU's manpage for more information.
