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.
