# @query-qmp-schema
#
# Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
# SchemaInfo.  This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
# events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
#
# However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions
# that apply to QMP.  It's interface introspection (figuring out
# what's there), not interface specification.  The specification is in
# the QAPI schema.
#
# Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an
# entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...
#
# The order of the various SchemaInfo is unspecified; however, all
# names are guaranteed to be unique (no name will be duplicated with
# different meta-types).
#
# Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal*
# interfaces, by defining QAPI types.  These are not part of the QMP
# wire ABI, and therefore not returned by this command.
#
# Since: 2.5

# @builtin: a predefined type such as 'int' or 'bool'.

#        strings here, although they are still guaranteed unique
#        regardless of @meta-type.
