+# @balloon:
+#
+# Request the balloon driver to change its balloon size.
+#
+# @value: the target logical size of the VM in bytes
+# We can deduce the size of the balloon using this formula:
+# logical_vm_size = vm_ram_size - balloon_size
+# From it we have: balloon_size = vm_ram_size - @value
+#
+# Returns: - Nothing on success
+# - If the balloon driver is enabled but not functional because the KVM
+# kernel module cannot support it, KvmMissingCap
+# - If no balloon device is present, DeviceNotActive
+#
+# Notes: This command just issues a request to the guest. When it returns,
+# the balloon size may not have changed. A guest can change the balloon
+# size independent of this command.
+#
+# Since: 0.14.0
+#
+# Example:
+#
+# -> { "execute": "balloon", "arguments": { "value": 536870912 } }
+# <- { "return": {} }
+#
+# With a 2.5GiB guest this command inflated the ballon to 3GiB.
