[Qemu-devel] qemu 0.12 monitor command syntax and interface

[Vinay Venkataraghavan]

Hi all,

I am implementing a generic interface that supports qemu versions 0.9 to 0.12. 


As a result I have been trying to get the syntax for the monitor commands for 
various qemu versions. I have scrounged all over but have not been able to find 
the syntax for the device_add interface which is supported in qemu 0.12.

I would really appreciate it if someone could point me to the syntax for these 
commands. The help text does not provide sufficient information about the 
argument list either:

I tried many versions of this command but to no avail:

device_add 
driver=virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,drive=/tmp/ec6f5d90-e734-4539-bd05-d7545e0f8323.img
 



Lastly does the device_add commands deprecate the pci_add commands or 
generically do the device_* commands deprecate the pci_* commands?


Any help would be much appreciated. 
Thanks,

- Vinay
