# @query-qmp-schema
#
# Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
# SchemaInfo. This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
# events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
#
# However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions
# that apply to QMP. It's interface introspection (figuring out
# what's there), not interface specification. The specification is in
# the QAPI schema.
#
# Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an
# entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...
#
# Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal*
# interfaces, by defining QAPI types. These are not part of the QMP
# wire ABI, and therefore not returned by this command.
#
# Since: 2.5

#
# This is a @SchemaInfo's meta type, i.e. the kind of entity it

#
# @builtin: a predefined type such as 'int' or 'bool'.

# @enum: an enumeration type
#
# @array: an array type
#
# @object: an object type (struct or union)
#
# @alternate: an alternate type
#
# @command: a QMP command
#
# @event: a QMP event

# strings here.
#

# @meta-type: the entity's meta type, inherited from @base.

# Additional members depend on the value of @meta-type.
