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