+# @qmp_capabilities:
+#
+# Enable QMP capabilities.
+#
+# Arguments:
+#
+# @enable: An optional list of QMPCapability values to enable. The
+# client must not enable any capability that is not
+# mentioned in the QMP greeting message. If the field is not
+# provided, it means no QMP capabilities will be enabled.
+# (since 2.12)
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# -> { "execute": "qmp_capabilities",
+# "arguments": { "enable": [ "oob" ] } }
+# <- { "return": {} }
+#
+# Notes: This command is valid exactly when first connecting: it must be
+# issued before any other command will be accepted, and will fail once the
+# monitor is accepting other commands. (see qemu docs/interop/qmp-spec.txt)
+#
+# The QMP client needs to explicitly enable QMP capabilities, otherwise
+# all the QMP capabilities will be turned off by default.
+#
+# Since: 0.13
