Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 1/3] qmp client: add $noerr argument
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2025 11:25:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250805093045.27959-2-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250805093045.27959-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
Using the $noerr argument will allow callers to opt-in to handling
errors themselves.

+Execute the C<$qmp_command_name> with arguments C<%params> for VM C<$vmid>. Dies if the VM is not
+running or the monitor socket cannot be reached, even if the C<noerr> argument is used. Returns the
+structured result from the QMP side converted from JSON to structured Perl data. In case the
+C<noerr> argument is used and the QMP command failed or timed out, the result is a hash reference
+with an C<error> key containing the error message.

+Parameters:

+
+=item C<$vmid>: The ID of the virtual machine.
+
+=item C<$cmd>: Hash reference containing the QMP command name for the C<execute> key and additional
+arguments for the QMP command under the C<arguments> key. The following custom arguments are not
+part of the QMP schema and supported for all commands:
+
+=over

+=item C<timeout>: wait at most for this amount of time. If there was no actual error, the QMP/QGA
+command will still continue to be executed even after the timeout reached.

+=item C<noerr>: do not die when the command gets an error or the timeout is hit. The caller needs to
+handle the error that is returned as a structured result.
