qemu-monitor-command domain { [--hmp] | [--pretty] } command...
Send an arbitrary monitor command *command* to domain *domain* through the
QEMU monitor. The results of the command will be printed on stdout. If
*--hmp* is passed, the command is considered to be a human monitor command
and libvirt will automatically convert it into QMP if needed. In that case
the result will also be converted back from QMP. If *--pretty* is given,
and the monitor uses QMP, then the output will be pretty-printed. If more
than one argument is provided for *command*, they are concatenated with a
space in between before passing the single command to the monitor.
QEMU monitor. The results of the command will be printed on stdout.
If more than one argument is provided for *command*, they are concatenated with
a space in between before passing the single command to the monitor.
Note that libvirt uses the QMP to talk to qemu so *command* must be valid JSON
in QMP format to work properly.
If *--pretty* is given the QMP reply is pretty-printed.
If *--hmp* is passed, the command is considered to be a human monitor command
and libvirt will automatically convert it into QMP and convert the result back.
