95# @transaction:
96#
97# Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If any
98# operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be abandoned and the
99# appropriate error returned.
100#
101# For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
102# the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if not specified, is
103# qcow2.
104#
105# Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
106# contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
107# an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should ensure that
108# the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
109# perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is achieved by using the
110# current image file as the backing file for the new image.
111#
112# On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
113#
114# For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
115# name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
116# be rejected.  Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
117# and sheepdog.
118#
119# On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
120# transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
121# it later with qemu-img or other command.
122#
123# @actions: List of @TransactionAction;
124#           information needed for the respective operations.
125#
126# @properties: structure of additional options to control the
127#              execution of the transaction. See @TransactionProperties
128#              for additional detail.
129#
130# Returns: nothing on success
131#
132#          Errors depend on the operations of the transaction
133#
134# Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure.  Therefore, there will be
135# information on only one failed operation returned in an error condition, and
136# subsequent actions will not have been attempted.
