+# @block_stream:
+#
+# Copy data from a backing file into a block device.
+#
+# The block streaming operation is performed in the background until the entire
+# backing file has been copied. This command returns immediately once streaming
+# has started. The status of ongoing block streaming operations can be checked
+# with query-block-jobs. The operation can be stopped before it has completed
+# using the block_job_cancel command.
+#
+# If a base file is specified then sectors are not copied from that base file and
+# its backing chain. When streaming completes the image file will have the base
+# file as its backing file. This can be used to stream a subset of the backing
+# file chain instead of flattening the entire image.
