How can I use QMP shell?
I was unable to find qmp-shell command anywhere in the system…

Thanks.

I haven’t a clue what qmp-shell is, or why it would be part of a default installation.

I suspect you’d need to install it.

What is it? We might be able to help if you can tell us that.

@F_style I don’t think it’s part of the openSUSE qemu build… I see this man page man qemu-qmp-ref, that’s about it…

@F_style Ahh a python script…

Yes, that first mentioned URL, as well as this one
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/interop/qemu-qmp-ref.html

EDIT: Wait, after reviewing the manual for qemu-qmp-ref, it has many same commands as qemu monitor!
Can it be that all stuff for QMP may also be used on qemu monitor?
(I’m not at the PC right now…)
