RFC: Implementation of QMP documentation retrieval command


From: Niteesh G. S.
Subject: RFC: Implementation of QMP documentation retrieval command
Date: Wed, 16 Jun 2021 21:18:26 +0530

Hello,

We now have a reasonably working prototype that is capable of sending/receiving
commands/responses, syntax highlighting, and a simple notification system. The
prototype can be found here https://gitlab.com/niteesh.gs/qemu/-/tree/aqmp-tui-prototype
Working on this prototype gives us a lot of hints on things to worry about and other
ideas that were worth implementing. Our next goal is to start working on the real TUI
based on this prototype.

One requested feature of the TUI was to show documentation for the commands typed.
To achieve this, a QMP command that lets us query the documentation from QEMU has
to be implemented and some discussion has already been done on it in a previous thread.
I request all continue that discussion here and suggest ideas regarding implementation.
The goal is to come up with something small and simple which can also be improved upon
after the summer.

I have a simple implementation of the command that returns dummy documentation here
https://gitlab.com/niteesh.gs/qemu/-/commit/796a41fb2840b9f3484c6fd5672e6fceb73acaef

Thanks,
Niteesh.
