#
# @path: The path within the device model.  There are two forms of supported
#        paths--absolute and partial paths.
#
#        Absolute paths are derived from the root device and can follow child<>
#        or link<> properties.  Since they can follow link<> properties, they
#        can be arbitrarily long.  Absolute paths look like absolute filenames
#        and are prefixed  with a leading slash.
#
#        Partial paths look like relative filenames.  They do not begin
#        with a prefix.  The matching rules for partial paths are subtle but
#        designed to make specifying devices easy.  At each level of the
#        composition tree, the partial path is matched as an absolute path.
#        The first match is not returned.  At least two matches are searched
#        for.  A successful result is only returned if only one match is
#        found.  If more than one match is found, a flag is return to
#        indicate that the match was ambiguous.
#
# @property: The property name to read
#
# Returns: The property value.  The type depends on the property type.  legacy<>
#          properties are returned as #str.  child<> and link<> properties are

##
# @block_job_cancel:
#
# Stop an active block streaming operation.
#
# This command returns immediately after marking the active block streaming
# operation for cancellation.  It is an error to call this command if no
# operation is in progress.
#
# The operation will cancel as soon as possible and then emit the
# BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED event.  Before that happens the job is still visible when
# enumerated using query-block-jobs.
#
# The image file retains its backing file unless the streaming operation happens
# to complete just as it is being cancelled.
#
# A new block streaming operation can be started at a later time to finish
# copying all data from the backing file.
#
# @device: the device name
#
# Returns: Nothing on success
#          If streaming is not active on this device, DeviceNotActive
#          If cancellation already in progress, DeviceInUse
