Re: [PATCH] virsh: Add QMP command wrapping for 'qemu-monitor-command'

Issuing simple QMP commands is pain as they need to be wrapped by the JSON wrapper: { "execute": "COMMAND" } and optionally also: { "execute": "COMMAND", "arguments":...} For simple commands without arguments we can add syntax sugar to virsh which allows simple usage of QMP and additionally prepares also for passing through of the 'arguments' section: virsh qemu-monitor-command --qmpwrap $VM query-status is equivalent to virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM '{"execute":"query-status"}' and virsh qemu-monitor-command --qmpwrap $VM query-named-block-nodes '{"flat":true}' is equivalent to virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM '{"execute":"query-named-block-nodes", "arguments":{"flat":true}}' Signed-off-by: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com&gt; --- I originally called the flag '--qmp' but that could be confusing given that we have '--hmp'. On the other hand it's shorter so I wouldn't mind turning it back to '--qmp'.
