# = Introduction
#
-# This document describes all commands currently supported by QMP.
+# This manual describes the commands and events supported by the QEMU
+# Monitor Protocol (QMP).
#
# For locating a particular item, please see the `qapi-qmp-index`.
#
-# Most of the time their usage is exactly the same as in the user
-# Monitor, this means that any other document which also describe
-# commands (the manpage, QEMU's manual, etc) can and should be
-# consulted.
+# The following notation is used in examples:
#
-# QMP has two types of commands: regular and query commands. Regular
-# commands usually change the Virtual Machine's state someway, while
-# query commands just return information. The sections below are
-# divided accordingly.
+# .. qmp-example::
#
-# It's important to observe that all communication examples are
-# formatted in a reader-friendly way, so that they're easier to
-# understand. However, in real protocol usage, they're emitted as a
-# single line.
+# -> ... text sent by client (commands) ...
+# <- ... text sent by server (command responses and events) ...
#
-# Also, the following notation is used to denote data flow:
-#
-# Example:
-#
-# ::
-#
-# -> data issued by the Client
-# <- Server data response
+# Example text is formatted for readability. However, in real
+# protocol usage, its commonly emitted as a single line.
#
# Please refer to the
# :doc:`QEMU Machine Protocol Specification </interop/qmp-spec>`
-# for detailed information on the Server command and response formats.
+# for the general format of commands, responses, and events.
