# 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 objects easy. At each level of the

# 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

# @dump-guest-memory
#
# Dump guest's memory to vmcore. It is a synchronous operation that can take
# very long depending on the amount of guest memory. This command is only
# supported only on i386 and x86_64
#
# @paging: if true, do paging to get guest's memory mapping. The @paging's
# default value of @paging is false, If you want to use gdb to process the
# core, please set @paging to true. The reason why the @paging's value is
# false:
# 1. guest machine in a catastrophic state can have corrupted memory,
# which we cannot trust.
# 2. The guest machine can be in read-mode even if paging is enabled.
# For example: the guest machine uses ACPI to sleep, and ACPI sleep
# state goes in real-mode
# @protocol: the filename or file descriptor of the vmcore. The supported
# protocol can be file or fd:
# 1. file: the protocol starts with "file:", and the following string is
# the file's path.
# 2. fd: the protocol starts with "fd:", and the following string is the
# fd's name.
# @begin: #optional if specified, the starting physical address.
# @length: #optional if specified, the memory size, in bytes. If you don't
# want to dump all guest's memory, please specify the start @begin and
# @length
#
# Returns: nothing on success
# If @begin contains an invalid address, InvalidParameter
# If only one of @begin and @length is specified, MissingParameter
# If @protocol stats with "fd:", and the fd cannot be found, FdNotFound
# If @protocol starts with "file:", and the file cannot be
# opened, OpenFileFailed
# If @protocol does not start with "fd:" or "file:", InvalidParameter
# If an I/O error occurs while writing the file, IOError
# If the target does not support this command, Unsupported
#
# Since: 1.2

# @netdev_add:
#
# Add a network backend.
#
# @type: the type of network backend. Current valid values are 'user', 'tap',
# 'vde', 'socket', 'dump' and 'bridge'
#
# @id: the name of the new network backend
#
# @props: #optional a list of properties to be passed to the backend in
# the format 'name=value', like 'ifname=tap0,script=no'
#
# Notes: The semantics of @props is not well defined. Future commands will be
# introduced that provide stronger typing for backend creation.
#
# Since: 0.14.0
#
# Returns: Nothing on success
# If @type is not a valid network backend, DeviceNotFound
# If @id is not a valid identifier, InvalidParameterValue
# if @id already exists, DuplicateId
# If @props contains an invalid parameter for this backend,
# InvalidParameter
