Description Amos Kong 2013-05-16 08:18:10 UTC 
One important feature for QMP in 1.6 is full introspection support.

By that we mean having a command like query-qmp-schema which returns the contents of qapi-schema.json in json format. The query-command-line-options command is a simple example of such a command.

qapi-schema.json is processed by qapi python scripts to generate C
files, I found the content is good enough for Libvirt to know the
QMP command schema. We can change qapi scripts to generate a talbe/list
to record the raw string, then we can return the raw string in
qmp_query_qmp_schema().

Amos, it turns out that we already have a BZ for this. I'm going to close this one as a dupe and re-assign the original one to you. Feel free to add new information as a comment.
