qemu-QMP-test

Running

Starting QEMU

On a mac you can easily get an instance running on QEMU with a socket open using LIMA. brew install lima then limactl start and you're set.

I don't know of a quick way to achieve something similar on Linux, but the Arch Wiki has some great docs that should help.

Running the listener

The default method of running only requires a path to the socket, for example in development it would be:

    $ RUST_LOG=trace cargo run -- -p ~/.lima/default/qmp.sock

or if you've built it in release:

   $ qemu-qmp-test ~/.lima/default/qmp.sock

Debugging

Setting the RUST_LOG environment variable to trace will dump transmission information to stdout:

RUST_LOG=trace cargo run -- ~/.lima/default/qmp.sock
