Re: [PATCH v2 03/10] scripts: Add 'qemu-replies-tool' script for testing and modifying data for qemucapabilitiestest

+# Process the replies file programmatically here. +# The 'conv' argument contains the whole conversation as a list of +# (command, reply) tuples, where both command and reply are already parsed JSON +# and thus represented by native python types (dict, list, etc ...) +# +# The code below contains a few examples and hints how to use the programatic +# processing. Do not forget to use '--regenerate' flag to uptate the output files.

+# +# Beware that this updates the output file which is used as input for any +# subsequent re-run of the tool which can re-apply the modification. +def modify_replies(conv): + return # remove this to enable modifications + version = None # filled with a dictionary with 'major', 'minor', 'micro' keys

All '.replies'
