-                        QMP Supported Commands
-                        ----------------------
-
-This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
-
-Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user Monitor, this
-means that any other document which also describe commands (the manpage,
-QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be consulted.
-
-QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular commands
-usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while query commands just
-return information. The sections below are divided accordingly.
-
-It's important to observe that all communication examples are formatted in
-a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to understand. However, in real
-protocol usage, they're emitted as a single line.
-
-Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
-
--> data issued by the Client
-<- Server data response
-
-Please, refer to the QMP specification (docs/qmp-spec.txt) for detailed
-information on the Server command and response formats.
-
-NOTE: This document is temporary and will be replaced soon.
-
-1. Stability Considerations
-===========================
-
-The current QMP command set (described in this file) may be useful for a
-number of use cases, however it's limited and several commands have bad
-defined semantics, specially with regard to command completion.
-
-These problems are going to be solved incrementally in the next QEMU releases
-and we're going to establish a deprecation policy for badly defined commands.
-
-If you're planning to adopt QMP, please observe the following:
-
-    1. The deprecation policy will take effect and be documented soon, please
-       check the documentation of each used command as soon as a new release of
-       QEMU is available
-
-    2. DO NOT rely on anything which is not explicit documented
-
-    3. Errors, in special, are not documented. Applications should NOT check
-       for specific errors classes or data (it's strongly recommended to only
-       check for the "error" key)
-2. Regular Commands
-===================
-
-Server's responses in the examples below are always a success response, please
-refer to the QMP specification for more details on error responses.
