91# @transaction:
92#
93# Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If any
94# operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be abandoned and the
95# appropriate error returned.
96#
97# For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
98# the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if not specified, is
99# qcow2.
100#
101# Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
102# contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
103# an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should ensure that
104# the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
105# perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is achieved by using the
106# current image file as the backing file for the new image.
107#
108# On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
109#
110# For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
111# name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
112# be rejected.  Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
113# and sheepdog.
114#
115# On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
116# transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
117# it later with qemu-img or other command.
118#
119# @actions: List of @TransactionAction;
120#           information needed for the respective operations.
121#
122# @properties: structure of additional options to control the
123#              execution of the transaction. See @TransactionProperties
124#              for additional detail.
125#
126# Returns: nothing on success
127#
128#          Errors depend on the operations of the transaction
129#
130# Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure.  Therefore, there will be
131# information on only one failed operation returned in an error condition, and
132# subsequent actions will not have been attempted.
