Note: This command must be issued before issuing any other command.
-human-monitor-command
----------------------
-
-Execute a Human Monitor command.
-
-Arguments:
-
-- command-line: the command name and its arguments, just like the
- Human Monitor's shell (json-string)
-- cpu-index: select the CPU number to be used by commands which access CPU
- data, like 'info registers'. The Monitor selects CPU 0 if this
- argument is not provided (json-int, optional)
-
-Example:
-
--> { "execute": "human-monitor-command", "arguments": { "command-line": "info kvm" } }
-<- { "return": "kvm support: enabled\r\n" }
-
-Notes:
-
-(1) The Human Monitor is NOT an stable interface, this means that command
- names, arguments and responses can change or be removed at ANY time.
- Applications that rely on long term stability guarantees should NOT
- use this command
-
-(2) Limitations:
-
- o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
- on state information (such as getfd) might not work
-
- o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
- device is encrypted) don't currently work
