31#           Actions. Actions do not complete until all Actions are ready to

87# @transaction:
88#
89# Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If any
90# operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be abandoned and the
91# appropriate error returned.
92#
93# For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
94# the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if not specified, is
95# qcow2.
96#
97# Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
98# contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
99# an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should ensure that
100# the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
101# perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is achieved by using the
102# current image file as the backing file for the new image.
103#
104# On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
105#
106# For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
107# name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
108# be rejected.  Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
109# and sheepdog.
110#
111# On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
112# transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
113# it later with qemu-img or other command.
114#
115# @actions: List of @TransactionAction;
116#           information needed for the respective operations.
117#
118# @properties: structure of additional options to control the
119#              execution of the transaction. See @TransactionProperties
120#              for additional detail.
121#
122# Returns: nothing on success
123#
124#          Errors depend on the operations of the transaction
125#
126# Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure.  Therefore, there will be
127# information on only one failed operation returned in an error condition, and
128# subsequent actions will not have been attempted.
