From 4993f7ea7e63f18f18880289d6be8a9ab1591409 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Max Reitz Date: Thu, 8 May 2014 20:12:41 +0200 Subject: block: Allow JSON filenames If the filename given to bdrv_open() is prefixed with "json:", parse the rest as a JSON object and merge the result into the options QDict. If there are conflicts, the options QDict takes precedence.
