11# @ObjectPropertyInfo:
12#
13# @name: the name of the property
14#
15# @type: the type of the property.  This will typically come in one of four
16#        forms:
17#
18#        1) A primitive type such as 'u8', 'u16', 'bool', 'str', or 'double'.
19#           These types are mapped to the appropriate JSON type.
20#
21#        2) A child type in the form 'child<subtype>' where subtype is a qdev
22#           device type name.  Child properties create the composition tree.
23#
24#        3) A link type in the form 'link<subtype>' where subtype is a qdev
25#           device type name.  Link properties form the device model graph.
26#
27# @description: if specified, the description of the property.
28#
29# Since: 1.2

35# @qom-list:
36#
37# This command will list any properties of a object given a path in the object
38# model.
39#
40# @path: the path within the object model.  See @qom-get for a description of
41#        this parameter.
42#
43# Returns: a list of @ObjectPropertyInfo that describe the properties of the
44#          object.

46# Since: 1.2

48# Example:

64# @qom-get:
65#
66# This command will get a property from a object model path and return the
67# value.
68#
69# @path: The path within the object model.  There are two forms of supported
70#        paths--absolute and partial paths.
71#
72#        Absolute paths are derived from the root object and can follow child<>
73#        or link<> properties.  Since they can follow link<> properties, they
74#        can be arbitrarily long.  Absolute paths look like absolute filenames
75#        and are prefixed  with a leading slash.
76#
77#        Partial paths look like relative filenames.  They do not begin
78#        with a prefix.  The matching rules for partial paths are subtle but
79#        designed to make specifying objects easy.  At each level of the
80#        composition tree, the partial path is matched as an absolute path.
81#        The first match is not returned.  At least two matches are searched
82#        for.  A successful result is only returned if only one match is
83#        found.  If more than one match is found, a flag is return to
84#        indicate that the match was ambiguous.
85#
86# @property: The property name to read
87#
88# Returns: The property value.  The type depends on the property
89#          type. child<> and link<> properties are returned as #str
90#          pathnames.  All integer property types (u8, u16, etc) are
91#          returned as #int.
92#
93# Since: 1.2
94#
95# Example:
96#
97# 1. Use absolute path
98#
99# -> { "execute": "qom-get",
100#      "arguments": { "path": "/machine/unattached/device[0]",
101#                     "property": "hotplugged" } }
102# <- { "return": false }
103#
104# 2. Use partial path
105#
106# -> { "execute": "qom-get",
107#      "arguments": { "path": "unattached/sysbus",
108#                     "property": "type" } }
