qmp-shell is presently licensed as GPLv2 (only). I intend to include
this tool as an add-on to an LGPLv2+ library package hosted on
PyPI.org. I've selected LGPLv2+ to maximize compatibility with other
licenses while retaining a copyleft license.
To keep licensing matters simple, I'd like to relicense this tool as
LGPLv2+ as well in order to keep the resultant license of the hosted
release files simple -- even if library users won't "link against" this
command line tool.
Therefore, I am asking permission from the current authors of this
tool to loosen the license. At present, those people are:
- John Snow (me!), 411/609
- Luiz Capitulino, Author, 97/609
- Daniel Berrangé, 81/609
- Eduardo Habkost, 10/609
- Marc-André Lureau, 6/609
- Fam Zheng, 3/609
- Cleber Rosa, 1/609
(All of which appear to have been written under redhat.com addresses.)
Eduardo's fixes are largely automated from 2to3 conversion tools and may
not necessarily constitute authorship, but his signature would put to
rest any questions.
Cleber's changes concern a single import statement change. Also won't
hurt to ask.

When running QMP commands with very large response payloads, it is often
not easy to spot the info you want. If we can save the response to a
file then tools like 'grep' or 'jq' can be used to extract information.
For convenience of processing, we merge the QMP command and response
dictionaries together:
{
"arguments": {},
"execute": "query-kvm",
"return": {
"enabled": false,
"present": true
}
}
Example usage
$ ./scripts/qmp/qmp-shell-wrap -l q.log -p -- ./build/qemu-system-x86_64 -display none
Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
Connected
(QEMU) query-kvm
{
"return": {
"enabled": false,
"present": true
}
}
(QEMU) query-mice
{
"return": [
{
"absolute": false,
"current": true,
"index": 2,
"name": "QEMU PS/2 Mouse"
}
]
}
$ jq --slurp '. | to_entries[] | select(.value.execute == "query-kvm") |
.value.return.enabled' < q.log
false

With the current 'qmp-shell' tool developers must first spawn QEMU with
a suitable -qmp arg and then spawn qmp-shell in a separate terminal
pointing to the right socket.
With 'qmp-shell-wrap' developers can ignore QMP sockets entirely and
just pass the QEMU command and arguments they want. The program will
listen on a UNIX socket and tell QEMU to connect QMP to that.
For example, this:
# qmp-shell-wrap -- qemu-system-x86_64 -display none
Is roughly equivalent of running:
# qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -qmp qmp-shell-1234 &
# qmp-shell qmp-shell-1234
Except that 'qmp-shell-wrap' switches the socket peers around so that
it is the UNIX socket server and QEMU is the socket client. This makes
QEMU reliably go away when qmp-shell-wrap exits, closing the server
socket.
