Make the tool useful also for non-testing purposes by adding 'dump' mode, which will process the data and output information about the qemu version. The first 'dump' mode produces all possible valid query strings per virQEMUQAPISchemaPathGet/virQEMUCapsQMPSchemaQueries. This is useful for users to look up a query string via 'grep' rather than trying to come up with it manually. Additionally the data as represented by qemu changes naming very often and that makes it un-reviewable to find changes between two qemu builds. By using the dump mode, which produces results in stable order we can use it to 'diff' two .replies file without churn. Sample output '[...]' denotes an arbitrary trim: $ ./scripts/qemu-replies-tool.py tests/qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_9.0.0_x86_64.replies --dump-qmp-query-strings [...] (qmp) blockdev-add (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/auto-read-only (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/auto-read-only/!bool (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/cache (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/cache/direct (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/cache/direct/!bool (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/cache/no-flush (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/cache/no-flush/!bool (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/detect-zeroes (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/detect-zeroes/^off (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/detect-zeroes/^on (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/detect-zeroes/^unmap [...] (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/driver (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/driver/^blkdebug (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/driver/^blklogwrites (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/driver/^blkreplay (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/driver/^blkverify (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/driver/^bochs (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/driver/^cloop [...] (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/align (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/align/!int (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/config (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/config/!str (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/image (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/image (recursion) (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/image/!str (qmp) blockdev-add/arg-type/+blkdebug/inject-error Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ján Tomko <jtomko@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com> |

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the website:
