``-machine [type=]name[,prop=value[,...]]``
Select the emulated machine by name. Use ``-machine help`` to list
available machines.
For architectures which aim to support live migration compatibility
across releases, each release will introduce a new versioned machine
type. For example, the 2.8.0 release introduced machine types
"pc-i440fx-2.8" and "pc-q35-2.8" for the x86\_64/i686 architectures.
To allow live migration of guests from QEMU version 2.8.0, to QEMU
version 2.9.0, the 2.9.0 version must support the "pc-i440fx-2.8"
and "pc-q35-2.8" machines too. To allow users live migrating VMs to
skip multiple intermediate releases when upgrading, new releases of
QEMU will support machine types from many previous versions.
Supported machine properties are:
``accel=accels1[:accels2[:...]]``
This is used to enable an accelerator. Depending on the target
architecture, kvm, xen, hax, hvf, whpx or tcg can be available.
By default, tcg is used. If there is more than one accelerator
specified, the next one is used if the previous one fails to
initialize.
``vmport=on|off|auto``
Enables emulation of VMWare IO port, for vmmouse etc. auto says
to select the value based on accel. For accel=xen the default is
off otherwise the default is on.
``dump-guest-core=on|off``
Include guest memory in a core dump. The default is on.
``mem-merge=on|off``
Enables or disables memory merge support. This feature, when
supported by the host, de-duplicates identical memory pages
among VMs instances (enabled by default).
``aes-key-wrap=on|off``
Enables or disables AES key wrapping support on s390-ccw hosts.
This feature controls whether AES wrapping keys will be created
to allow execution of AES cryptographic functions. The default
is on.
``dea-key-wrap=on|off``
Enables or disables DEA key wrapping support on s390-ccw hosts.
This feature controls whether DEA wrapping keys will be created
to allow execution of DEA cryptographic functions. The default
is on.
``nvdimm=on|off``
Enables or disables NVDIMM support. The default is off.
``enforce-config-section=on|off``
If ``enforce-config-section`` is set to on, force migration code
to send configuration section even if the machine-type sets the
``migration.send-configuration`` property to off. NOTE: this
parameter is deprecated. Please use ``-global``
``migration.send-configuration``\ =on\|off instead.
``memory-encryption=``
Memory encryption object to use. The default is none.

``kernel-irqchip=on|off|split``
Controls KVM in-kernel irqchip support. The default is full
acceleration of the interrupt controllers. On x86, split irqchip
reduces the kernel attack surface, at a performance cost for
non-MSI interrupts. Disabling the in-kernel irqchip completely
is not recommended except for debugging purposes.

Define a NUMA node and assign RAM and VCPUs to it. Set the NUMA
distance from a source node to a destination node. Set the ACPI
Heterogeneous Memory Attributes for the given nodes.
Legacy VCPU assignment uses '\ ``cpus``\ ' option where firstcpu and
lastcpu are CPU indexes. Each '\ ``cpus``\ ' option represent a
contiguous range of CPU indexes (or a single VCPU if lastcpu is
omitted). A non-contiguous set of VCPUs can be represented by
providing multiple '\ ``cpus``\ ' options. If '\ ``cpus``\ ' is
omitted on all nodes, VCPUs are automatically split between them.
For example, the following option assigns VCPUs 0, 1, 2 and 5 to a
NUMA node:
::
-numa node,cpus=0-2,cpus=5
'\ ``cpu``\ ' option is a new alternative to '\ ``cpus``\ ' option
which uses '\ ``socket-id|core-id|thread-id``\ ' properties to
assign CPU objects to a node using topology layout properties of
CPU. The set of properties is machine specific, and depends on used
machine type/'\ ``smp``\ ' options. It could be queried with
'\ ``hotpluggable-cpus``\ ' monitor command. '\ ``node-id``\ '
property specifies node to which CPU object will be assigned, it's
required for node to be declared with '\ ``node``\ ' option before
it's used with '\ ``cpu``\ ' option.
For example:
::
-M pc \
-smp 1,sockets=2,maxcpus=2 \
-numa node,nodeid=0 -numa node,nodeid=1 \
-numa cpu,node-id=0,socket-id=0 -numa cpu,node-id=1,socket-id=1
Legacy '\ ``mem``\ ' assigns a given RAM amount to a node (not supported
for 5.1 and newer machine types). '\ ``memdev``\ ' assigns RAM from
a given memory backend device to a node. If '\ ``mem``\ ' and
'\ ``memdev``\ ' are omitted in all nodes, RAM is split equally between them.
'\ ``mem``\ ' and '\ ``memdev``\ ' are mutually exclusive.
Furthermore, if one node uses '\ ``memdev``\ ', all of them have to
use it.
'\ ``initiator``\ ' is an additional option that points to an
initiator NUMA node that has best performance (the lowest latency or
largest bandwidth) to this NUMA node. Note that this option can be
set only when the machine property 'hmat' is set to 'on'.
Following example creates a machine with 2 NUMA nodes, node 0 has
CPU. node 1 has only memory, and its initiator is node 0. Note that
because node 0 has CPU, by default the initiator of node 0 is itself
and must be itself.

source and destination are NUMA node IDs. distance is the NUMA
distance from source to destination. The distance from a node to
itself is always 10. If any pair of nodes is given a distance, then
all pairs must be given distances. Although, when distances are only
given in one direction for each pair of nodes, then the distances in
the opposite directions are assumed to be the same. If, however, an
asymmetrical pair of distances is given for even one node pair, then
all node pairs must be provided distance values for both directions,
even when they are symmetrical. When a node is unreachable from
another node, set the pair's distance to 255.
Note that the -``numa`` option doesn't allocate any of the specified
resources, it just assigns existing resources to NUMA nodes. This
means that one still has to use the ``-m``, ``-smp`` options to
allocate RAM and VCPUs respectively.
Use '\ ``hmat-lb``\ ' to set System Locality Latency and Bandwidth
Information between initiator and target NUMA nodes in ACPI
Heterogeneous Attribute Memory Table (HMAT). Initiator NUMA node can
create memory requests, usually it has one or more processors.
Target NUMA node contains addressable memory.
In '\ ``hmat-lb``\ ' option, node are NUMA node IDs. hierarchy is
the memory hierarchy of the target NUMA node: if hierarchy is
'memory', the structure represents the memory performance; if
hierarchy is 'first-level\|second-level\|third-level', this
structure represents aggregated performance of memory side caches
for each domain. type of 'data-type' is type of data represented by
this structure instance: if 'hierarchy' is 'memory', 'data-type' is
'access\|read\|write' latency or 'access\|read\|write' bandwidth of
the target memory; if 'hierarchy' is
'first-level\|second-level\|third-level', 'data-type' is
'access\|read\|write' hit latency or 'access\|read\|write' hit
bandwidth of the target memory side cache.
lat is latency value in nanoseconds. bw is bandwidth value, the
possible value and units are NUM[M\|G\|T], mean that the bandwidth
value are NUM byte per second (or MB/s, GB/s or TB/s depending on
used suffix). Note that if latency or bandwidth value is 0, means
the corresponding latency or bandwidth information is not provided.
In '\ ``hmat-cache``\ ' option, node-id is the NUMA-id of the memory
belongs. size is the size of memory side cache in bytes. level is
the cache level described in this structure, note that the cache
level 0 should not be used with '\ ``hmat-cache``\ ' option.
associativity is the cache associativity, the possible value is
'none/direct(direct-mapped)/complex(complex cache indexing)'. policy
is the write policy. line is the cache Line size in bytes.
For example, the following options describe 2 NUMA nodes. Node 0 has
2 cpus and a ram, node 1 has only a ram. The processors in node 0
access memory in node 0 with access-latency 5 nanoseconds,
access-bandwidth is 200 MB/s; The processors in NUMA node 0 access
memory in NUMA node 1 with access-latency 10 nanoseconds,
access-bandwidth is 100 MB/s. And for memory side cache information,
NUMA node 0 and 1 both have 1 level memory cache, size is 10KB,
policy is write-back, the cache Line size is 8 bytes:

Specify boot order drives as a string of drive letters. Valid drive
letters depend on the target architecture. The x86 PC uses: a, b
(floppy 1 and 2), c (first hard disk), d (first CD-ROM), n-p
(Etherboot from network adapter 1-4), hard disk boot is the default.
To apply a particular boot order only on the first startup, specify
it via ``once``. Note that the ``order`` or ``once`` parameter
should not be used together with the ``bootindex`` property of
devices, since the firmware implementations normally do not support
both at the same time.
Interactive boot menus/prompts can be enabled via ``menu=on`` as far
as firmware/BIOS supports them. The default is non-interactive boot.
A splash picture could be passed to bios, enabling user to show it
as logo, when option splash=sp\_name is given and menu=on, If
firmware/BIOS supports them. Currently Seabios for X86 system
support it. limitation: The splash file could be a jpeg file or a
BMP file in 24 BPP format(true color). The resolution should be
supported by the SVGA mode, so the recommended is 320x240, 640x480,
800x640.
A timeout could be passed to bios, guest will pause for rb\_timeout
ms when boot failed, then reboot. If rb\_timeout is '-1', guest will
not reboot, qemu passes '-1' to bios by default. Currently Seabios
for X86 system support it.
Do strict boot via ``strict=on`` as far as firmware/BIOS supports
it. This only effects when boot priority is changed by bootindex
options. The default is non-strict boot.

``-m [size=]megs[,slots=n,maxmem=size]``
Sets guest startup RAM size to megs megabytes. Default is 128 MiB.
Optionally, a suffix of "M" or "G" can be used to signify a value in
megabytes or gigabytes respectively. Optional pair slots, maxmem
could be used to set amount of hotpluggable memory slots and maximum
amount of memory. Note that maxmem must be aligned to the page size.
For example, the following command-line sets the guest startup RAM
size to 1GB, creates 3 slots to hotplug additional memory and sets
the maximum memory the guest can reach to 4GB:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -m 1G,slots=3,maxmem=4G
If slots and maxmem are not specified, memory hotplug won't be
enabled and the guest startup RAM will never increase.

``-audiodev [driver=]driver,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Adds a new audio backend driver identified by id. There are global
and driver specific properties. Some values can be set differently
for input and output, they're marked with ``in|out.``. You can set
the input's property with ``in.prop`` and the output's property with
``out.prop``. For example:
::
-audiodev alsa,id=example,in.frequency=44110,out.frequency=8000
-audiodev alsa,id=example,out.channels=1 # leaves in.channels unspecified
NOTE: parameter validation is known to be incomplete, in many cases
specifying an invalid option causes QEMU to print an error message
and continue emulation without sound.
Valid global options are:
``id=identifier``
Identifies the audio backend.
``timer-period=period``
Sets the timer period used by the audio subsystem in
microseconds. Default is 10000 (10 ms).
``in|out.mixing-engine=on|off``
Use QEMU's mixing engine to mix all streams inside QEMU and
convert audio formats when not supported by the backend. When
off, fixed-settings must be off too. Note that disabling this
option means that the selected backend must support multiple
streams and the audio formats used by the virtual cards,
otherwise you'll get no sound. It's not recommended to disable
this option unless you want to use 5.1 or 7.1 audio, as mixing
engine only supports mono and stereo audio. Default is on.
``in|out.fixed-settings=on|off``
Use fixed settings for host audio. When off, it will change
based on how the guest opens the sound card. In this case you
must not specify frequency, channels or format. Default is on.
``in|out.frequency=frequency``
Specify the frequency to use when using fixed-settings. Default
is 44100Hz.
``in|out.channels=channels``
Specify the number of channels to use when using fixed-settings.
Default is 2 (stereo).
``in|out.format=format``
Specify the sample format to use when using fixed-settings.
Valid values are: ``s8``, ``s16``, ``s32``, ``u8``, ``u16``,
``u32``, ``f32``. Default is ``s16``.
``in|out.voices=voices``
Specify the number of voices to use. Default is 1.
``in|out.buffer-length=usecs``
Sets the size of the buffer in microseconds.
``-audiodev none,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a dummy backend that discards all outputs. This backend has
no backend specific properties.
``-audiodev alsa,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates backend using the ALSA. This backend is only available on
Linux.
ALSA specific options are:
``in|out.dev=device``
Specify the ALSA device to use for input and/or output. Default
is ``default``.
``in|out.period-length=usecs``
Sets the period length in microseconds.
``in|out.try-poll=on|off``
Attempt to use poll mode with the device. Default is on.
``threshold=threshold``
Threshold (in microseconds) when playback starts. Default is 0.
``-audiodev coreaudio,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a backend using Apple's Core Audio. This backend is only
available on Mac OS and only supports playback.
Core Audio specific options are:
``in|out.buffer-count=count``
Sets the count of the buffers.
``-audiodev dsound,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a backend using Microsoft's DirectSound. This backend is
only available on Windows and only supports playback.
DirectSound specific options are:
``latency=usecs``
Add extra usecs microseconds latency to playback. Default is
10000 (10 ms).
``-audiodev oss,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a backend using OSS. This backend is available on most
Unix-like systems.
OSS specific options are:
``in|out.dev=device``
Specify the file name of the OSS device to use. Default is
``/dev/dsp``.
``in|out.buffer-count=count``
Sets the count of the buffers.
``in|out.try-poll=on|of``
Attempt to use poll mode with the device. Default is on.
``try-mmap=on|off``
Try using memory mapped device access. Default is off.
``exclusive=on|off``
Open the device in exclusive mode (vmix won't work in this
case). Default is off.
``dsp-policy=policy``
Sets the timing policy (between 0 and 10, where smaller number
means smaller latency but higher CPU usage). Use -1 to use
buffer sizes specified by ``buffer`` and ``buffer-count``. This
option is ignored if you do not have OSS 4. Default is 5.
``-audiodev pa,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a backend using PulseAudio. This backend is available on
most systems.
PulseAudio specific options are:
``server=server``
Sets the PulseAudio server to connect to.
``in|out.name=sink``
Use the specified source/sink for recording/playback.
``in|out.latency=usecs``
Desired latency in microseconds. The PulseAudio server will try
to honor this value but actual latencies may be lower or higher.
``-audiodev sdl,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a backend using SDL. This backend is available on most
systems, but you should use your platform's native backend if
possible. This backend has no backend specific properties.
``-audiodev spice,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a backend that sends audio through SPICE. This backend
requires ``-spice`` and automatically selected in that case, so
usually you can ignore this option. This backend has no backend
specific properties.
``-audiodev wav,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Creates a backend that writes audio to a WAV file.
Backend specific options are:
``path=path``
Write recorded audio into the specified file. Default is
``qemu.wav``.

``-device ipmi-bmc-sim,id=id[,prop[=value][,...]]``
Add an IPMI BMC. This is a simulation of a hardware management
interface processor that normally sits on a system. It provides a
watchdog and the ability to reset and power control the system. You
need to connect this to an IPMI interface to make it useful
The IPMI slave address to use for the BMC. The default is 0x20. This
address is the BMC's address on the I2C network of management
controllers. If you don't know what this means, it is safe to ignore
it.
``id=id``
The BMC id for interfaces to use this device.
``slave_addr=val``
Define slave address to use for the BMC. The default is 0x20.
``sdrfile=file``
file containing raw Sensor Data Records (SDR) data. The default
is none.
``fruareasize=val``
size of a Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) area. The default is
1024.
``frudatafile=file``
file containing raw Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventory data.
The default is none.
``guid=uuid``
value for the GUID for the BMC, in standard UUID format. If this
is set, get "Get GUID" command to the BMC will return it.
Otherwise "Get GUID" will return an error.
``-device ipmi-bmc-extern,id=id,chardev=id[,slave_addr=val]``
Add a connection to an external IPMI BMC simulator. Instead of
locally emulating the BMC like the above item, instead connect to an
external entity that provides the IPMI services.
A connection is made to an external BMC simulator. If you do this,
it is strongly recommended that you use the "reconnect=" chardev
option to reconnect to the simulator if the connection is lost. Note
that if this is not used carefully, it can be a security issue, as
the interface has the ability to send resets, NMIs, and power off
the VM. It's best if QEMU makes a connection to an external
simulator running on a secure port on localhost, so neither the
simulator nor QEMU is exposed to any outside network.
See the "lanserv/README.vm" file in the OpenIPMI library for more
details on the external interface.
``-device isa-ipmi-kcs,bmc=id[,ioport=val][,irq=val]``
Add a KCS IPMI interafce on the ISA bus. This also adds a
corresponding ACPI and SMBIOS entries, if appropriate.
``bmc=id``

``-blockdev option[,option[,option[,...]]]``
Define a new block driver node. Some of the options apply to all
block drivers, other options are only accepted for a specific block
driver. See below for a list of generic options and options for the
most common block drivers.
Options that expect a reference to another node (e.g. ``file``) can
be given in two ways. Either you specify the node name of an already
existing node (file=node-name), or you define a new node inline,
adding options for the referenced node after a dot
(file.filename=path,file.aio=native).
A block driver node created with ``-blockdev`` can be used for a
guest device by specifying its node name for the ``drive`` property
in a ``-device`` argument that defines a block device.
``Valid options for any block driver node:``
``driver``
Specifies the block driver to use for the given node.
``node-name``
This defines the name of the block driver node by which it
will be referenced later. The name must be unique, i.e. it
must not match the name of a different block driver node, or
(if you use ``-drive`` as well) the ID of a drive.
If no node name is specified, it is automatically generated.
The generated node name is not intended to be predictable
and changes between QEMU invocations. For the top level, an
explicit node name must be specified.
``read-only``
Open the node read-only. Guest write attempts will fail.
Note that some block drivers support only read-only access,
either generally or in certain configurations. In this case,
the default value ``read-only=off`` does not work and the
option must be specified explicitly.
``auto-read-only``
If ``auto-read-only=on`` is set, QEMU may fall back to
read-only usage even when ``read-only=off`` is requested, or
even switch between modes as needed, e.g. depending on
whether the image file is writable or whether a writing user
is attached to the node.
``force-share``
Override the image locking system of QEMU by forcing the
node to utilize weaker shared access for permissions where
it would normally request exclusive access. When there is
the potential for multiple instances to have the same file
open (whether this invocation of QEMU is the first or the
second instance), both instances must permit shared access
for the second instance to succeed at opening the file.
Enabling ``force-share=on`` requires ``read-only=on``.
``cache.direct``
The host page cache can be avoided with ``cache.direct=on``.
This will attempt to do disk IO directly to the guest's
memory. QEMU may still perform an internal copy of the data.
``cache.no-flush``
In case you don't care about data integrity over host
failures, you can use ``cache.no-flush=on``. This option
tells QEMU that it never needs to write any data to the disk
but can instead keep things in cache. If anything goes
wrong, like your host losing power, the disk storage getting
disconnected accidentally, etc. your image will most
probably be rendered unusable.
``discard=discard``
discard is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on")
and controls whether ``discard`` (also known as ``trim`` or
``unmap``) requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem.
Some machine types may not support discard requests.
``detect-zeroes=detect-zeroes``
detect-zeroes is "off", "on" or "unmap" and enables the
automatic conversion of plain zero writes by the OS to
driver specific optimized zero write commands. You may even
choose "unmap" if discard is set to "unmap" to allow a zero
write to be converted to an ``unmap`` operation.
``Driver-specific options for file``
This is the protocol-level block driver for accessing regular
files.
``filename``
The path to the image file in the local filesystem
``aio``
Specifies the AIO backend (threads/native, default: threads)
``locking``
Specifies whether the image file is protected with Linux OFD
/ POSIX locks. The default is to use the Linux Open File
Descriptor API if available, otherwise no lock is applied.
(auto/on/off, default: auto)
Example:
::
-blockdev driver=file,node-name=disk,filename=disk.img
``Driver-specific options for raw``
This is the image format block driver for raw images. It is
usually stacked on top of a protocol level block driver such as
``file``.
``file``
Reference to or definition of the data source block driver
node (e.g. a ``file`` driver node)
Example 1:
::
-blockdev driver=file,node-name=disk_file,filename=disk.img
-blockdev driver=raw,node-name=disk,file=disk_file
Example 2:
::
-blockdev driver=raw,node-name=disk,file.driver=file,file.filename=disk.img
``Driver-specific options for qcow2``
This is the image format block driver for qcow2 images. It is
usually stacked on top of a protocol level block driver such as
``file``.
``file``
Reference to or definition of the data source block driver
node (e.g. a ``file`` driver node)
``backing``
Reference to or definition of the backing file block device
(default is taken from the image file). It is allowed to
pass ``null`` here in order to disable the default backing
file.
``lazy-refcounts``
Whether to enable the lazy refcounts feature (on/off;
default is taken from the image file)
``cache-size``
The maximum total size of the L2 table and refcount block
caches in bytes (default: the sum of l2-cache-size and
refcount-cache-size)
``l2-cache-size``
The maximum size of the L2 table cache in bytes (default: if
cache-size is not specified - 32M on Linux platforms, and 8M
on non-Linux platforms; otherwise, as large as possible
within the cache-size, while permitting the requested or the
minimal refcount cache size)
``refcount-cache-size``
The maximum size of the refcount block cache in bytes
(default: 4 times the cluster size; or if cache-size is
specified, the part of it which is not used for the L2
cache)
``cache-clean-interval``
Clean unused entries in the L2 and refcount caches. The
interval is in seconds. The default value is 600 on
supporting platforms, and 0 on other platforms. Setting it
to 0 disables this feature.
``pass-discard-request``
Whether discard requests to the qcow2 device should be
forwarded to the data source (on/off; default: on if
discard=unmap is specified, off otherwise)
``pass-discard-snapshot``
Whether discard requests for the data source should be
issued when a snapshot operation (e.g. deleting a snapshot)
frees clusters in the qcow2 file (on/off; default: on)
``pass-discard-other``
Whether discard requests for the data source should be
issued on other occasions where a cluster gets freed
(on/off; default: off)
``overlap-check``
Which overlap checks to perform for writes to the image
(none/constant/cached/all; default: cached). For details or
finer granularity control refer to the QAPI documentation of
``blockdev-add``.
Example 1:
::
-blockdev driver=file,node-name=my_file,filename=/tmp/disk.qcow2
-blockdev driver=qcow2,node-name=hda,file=my_file,overlap-check=none,cache-size=16777216

``-drive option[,option[,option[,...]]]``
Define a new drive. This includes creating a block driver node (the

``-drive`` accepts all options that are accepted by ``-blockdev``.
In addition, it knows the following options:
``file=file``
This option defines which disk image (see

the filename contains comma, you must double it (for instance,
"file=my,,file" to use file "my,file").
Special files such as iSCSI devices can be specified using
protocol specific URLs. See the section for "Device URL Syntax"
for more information.
``if=interface``
This option defines on which type on interface the drive is
connected. Available types are: ide, scsi, sd, mtd, floppy,
pflash, virtio, none.
``bus=bus,unit=unit``
These options define where is connected the drive by defining
the bus number and the unit id.
``index=index``
This option defines where is connected the drive by using an
index in the list of available connectors of a given interface
type.
``media=media``
This option defines the type of the media: disk or cdrom.
``snapshot=snapshot``
snapshot is "on" or "off" and controls snapshot mode for the
given drive (see ``-snapshot``).
``cache=cache``
cache is "none", "writeback", "unsafe", "directsync" or
"writethrough" and controls how the host cache is used to access
block data. This is a shortcut that sets the ``cache.direct``
and ``cache.no-flush`` options (as in ``-blockdev``), and
additionally ``cache.writeback``, which provides a default for
the ``write-cache`` option of block guest devices (as in
``-device``). The modes correspond to the following settings:
============= =============== ============ ==============
\ cache.writeback cache.direct cache.no-flush
============= =============== ============ ==============
writeback on off off
none on on off
writethrough off off off
directsync off on off
unsafe on off on
============= =============== ============ ==============
The default mode is ``cache=writeback``.
``aio=aio``
aio is "threads", or "native" and selects between pthread based
disk I/O and native Linux AIO.
``format=format``
Specify which disk format will be used rather than detecting the
format. Can be used to specify format=raw to avoid interpreting
an untrusted format header.
``werror=action,rerror=action``
Specify which action to take on write and read errors. Valid
actions are: "ignore" (ignore the error and try to continue),
"stop" (pause QEMU), "report" (report the error to the guest),
"enospc" (pause QEMU only if the host disk is full; report the
error to the guest otherwise). The default setting is
``werror=enospc`` and ``rerror=report``.
``copy-on-read=copy-on-read``
copy-on-read is "on" or "off" and enables whether to copy read
backing file sectors into the image file.
``bps=b,bps_rd=r,bps_wr=w``
Specify bandwidth throttling limits in bytes per second, either
for all request types or for reads or writes only. Small values
can lead to timeouts or hangs inside the guest. A safe minimum
for disks is 2 MB/s.
``bps_max=bm,bps_rd_max=rm,bps_wr_max=wm``
Specify bursts in bytes per second, either for all request types
or for reads or writes only. Bursts allow the guest I/O to spike
above the limit temporarily.
``iops=i,iops_rd=r,iops_wr=w``
Specify request rate limits in requests per second, either for
all request types or for reads or writes only.
``iops_max=bm,iops_rd_max=rm,iops_wr_max=wm``
Specify bursts in requests per second, either for all request
types or for reads or writes only. Bursts allow the guest I/O to
spike above the limit temporarily.
``iops_size=is``
Let every is bytes of a request count as a new request for iops
throttling purposes. Use this option to prevent guests from
circumventing iops limits by sending fewer but larger requests.
``group=g``
Join a throttling quota group with given name g. All drives that
are members of the same group are accounted for together. Use
this option to prevent guests from circumventing throttling
limits by using many small disks instead of a single larger
disk.
By default, the ``cache.writeback=on`` mode is used. It will report
data writes as completed as soon as the data is present in the host
page cache. This is safe as long as your guest OS makes sure to
correctly flush disk caches where needed. If your guest OS does not
handle volatile disk write caches correctly and your host crashes or
loses power, then the guest may experience data corruption.
For such guests, you should consider using ``cache.writeback=off``.
This means that the host page cache will be used to read and write
data, but write notification will be sent to the guest only after
QEMU has made sure to flush each write to the disk. Be aware that
this has a major impact on performance.
When using the ``-snapshot`` option, unsafe caching is always used.
Copy-on-read avoids accessing the same backing file sectors
repeatedly and is useful when the backing file is over a slow
network. By default copy-on-read is off.
Instead of ``-cdrom`` you can use:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -drive file=file,index=2,media=cdrom
Instead of ``-hda``, ``-hdb``, ``-hdc``, ``-hdd``, you can use:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -drive file=file,index=0,media=disk
|qemu_system| -drive file=file,index=1,media=disk
|qemu_system| -drive file=file,index=2,media=disk
|qemu_system| -drive file=file,index=3,media=disk
You can open an image using pre-opened file descriptors from an fd
set:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| \
-add-fd fd=3,set=2,opaque="rdwr:/path/to/file" \
-add-fd fd=4,set=2,opaque="rdonly:/path/to/file" \
-drive file=/dev/fdset/2,index=0,media=disk
You can connect a CDROM to the slave of ide0:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system_x86| -drive file=file,if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom
If you don't specify the "file=" argument, you define an empty
drive:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system_x86| -drive if=ide,index=1,media=cdrom
Instead of ``-fda``, ``-fdb``, you can use:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system_x86| -drive file=file,index=0,if=floppy
|qemu_system_x86| -drive file=file,index=1,if=floppy
By default, interface is "ide" and index is automatically
incremented:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system_x86| -drive file=a -drive file=b"
is interpreted like:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system_x86| -hda a -hdb b

Define a new file system device. Valid options are:
``local``
Accesses to the filesystem are done by QEMU.
``proxy``
Accesses to the filesystem are done by virtfs-proxy-helper(1).
``synth``
Synthetic filesystem, only used by QTests.
``id=id``
Specifies identifier for this device.
``path=path``
Specifies the export path for the file system device. Files
under this path will be available to the 9p client on the guest.
``security_model=security_model``
Specifies the security model to be used for this export path.
Supported security models are "passthrough", "mapped-xattr",
"mapped-file" and "none". In "passthrough" security model, files
are stored using the same credentials as they are created on the
guest. This requires QEMU to run as root. In "mapped-xattr"
security model, some of the file attributes like uid, gid, mode
bits and link target are stored as file attributes. For
"mapped-file" these attributes are stored in the hidden
.virtfs\_metadata directory. Directories exported by this
security model cannot interact with other unix tools. "none"
security model is same as passthrough except the sever won't
report failures if it fails to set file attributes like
ownership. Security model is mandatory only for local fsdriver.
Other fsdrivers (like proxy) don't take security model as a
parameter.
``writeout=writeout``
This is an optional argument. The only supported value is
"immediate". This means that host page cache will be used to
read and write data but write notification will be sent to the

Define a new virtual filesystem device and expose it to the guest using
a virtio-9p-device (a.k.a. 9pfs), which essentially means that a certain
directory on host is made directly accessible by guest as a pass-through
file system by using the 9P network protocol for communication between
host and guests, if desired even accessible, shared by several guests
simultaniously.
Note that ``-virtfs`` is actually just a convenience shortcut for its
generalized form ``-fsdev -device virtio-9p-pci``.
The general form of pass-through file system options are:
``local``
Accesses to the filesystem are done by QEMU.
``proxy``
Accesses to the filesystem are done by virtfs-proxy-helper(1).
``synth``
Synthetic filesystem, only used by QTests.
``id=id``
Specifies identifier for the filesystem device
``path=path``
Specifies the export path for the file system device. Files
under this path will be available to the 9p client on the guest.
``security_model=security_model``

``fmode=fmode``
Specifies the default mode for newly created files on the host.
Works only with security models "mapped-xattr" and
"mapped-file".
``dmode=dmode``
Specifies the default mode for newly created directories on the
host. Works only with security models "mapped-xattr" and
"mapped-file".
``mount_tag=mount_tag``
Specifies the tag name to be used by the guest to mount this
export point.
``multidevs=multidevs``
Specifies how to deal with multiple devices being shared with a
9p export. Supported behaviours are either "remap", "forbid" or
"warn". The latter is the default behaviour on which virtfs 9p
expects only one device to be shared with the same export, and
if more than one device is shared and accessed via the same 9p
export then only a warning message is logged (once) by qemu on
host side. In order to avoid file ID collisions on guest you
should either create a separate virtfs export for each device to
be shared with guests (recommended way) or you might use "remap"
instead which allows you to share multiple devices with only one
export instead, which is achieved by remapping the original
inode numbers from host to guest in a way that would prevent
such collisions. Remapping inodes in such use cases is required
because the original device IDs from host are never passed and
exposed on guest. Instead all files of an export shared with
virtfs always share the same device id on guest. So two files
with identical inode numbers but from actually different devices
on host would otherwise cause a file ID collision and hence
potential misbehaviours on guest. "forbid" on the other hand
assumes like "warn" that only one device is shared by the same
export, however it will not only log a warning message but also
deny access to additional devices on guest. Note though that
"forbid" does currently not block all possible file access
operations (e.g. readdir() would still return entries from other
devices).

Display video output via SDL (usually in a separate graphics
window; see the SDL documentation for other possibilities).
``curses``
Display video output via curses. For graphics device models
which support a text mode, QEMU can display this output using a
curses/ncurses interface. Nothing is displayed when the graphics
device is in graphical mode or if the graphics device does not
support a text mode. Generally only the VGA device models
support text mode. The font charset used by the guest can be
specified with the ``charset`` option, for example
``charset=CP850`` for IBM CP850 encoding. The default is
``CP437``.
``none``
Do not display video output. The guest will still see an
emulated graphics card, but its output will not be displayed to
the QEMU user. This option differs from the -nographic option in
that it only affects what is done with video output; -nographic
also changes the destination of the serial and parallel port

running QEMU as an unprivileged user, an environment variable
SASL\_CONF\_PATH can be used to make it search alternate

SRST
``-vga type``
Select type of VGA card to emulate. Valid values for type are
``cirrus``
Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video card. All Windows versions starting
from Windows 95 should recognize and use this graphic card. For
optimal performances, use 16 bit color depth in the guest and
the host OS. (This card was the default before QEMU 2.2)
``std``
Standard VGA card with Bochs VBE extensions. If your guest OS
supports the VESA 2.0 VBE extensions (e.g. Windows XP) and if
you want to use high resolution modes (>= 1280x1024x16) then you
should use this option. (This card is the default since QEMU
2.2)
``vmware``
VMWare SVGA-II compatible adapter. Use it if you have
sufficiently recent XFree86/XOrg server or Windows guest with a
driver for this card.
``qxl``
QXL paravirtual graphic card. It is VGA compatible (including
VESA 2.0 VBE support). Works best with qxl guest drivers
installed though. Recommended choice when using the spice
protocol.
``tcx``
(sun4m only) Sun TCX framebuffer. This is the default
framebuffer for sun4m machines and offers both 8-bit and 24-bit
colour depths at a fixed resolution of 1024x768.
``cg3``
(sun4m only) Sun cgthree framebuffer. This is a simple 8-bit
framebuffer for sun4m machines available in both 1024x768
(OpenBIOS) and 1152x900 (OBP) resolutions aimed at people
wishing to run older Solaris versions.

DEF("vnc", HAS_ARG, QEMU_OPTION_vnc ,
"-vnc <display> shorthand for -display vnc=<display>\n", QEMU_ARCH_ALL)
SRST
``-vnc display[,option[,option[,...]]]``
Normally, if QEMU is compiled with graphical window support, it
displays output such as guest graphics, guest console, and the QEMU
monitor in a window. With this option, you can have QEMU listen on
VNC display display and redirect the VGA display over the VNC
session. It is very useful to enable the usb tablet device when
using this option (option ``-device usb-tablet``). When using the
VNC display, you must use the ``-k`` parameter to set the keyboard
layout if you are not using en-us. Valid syntax for the display is
``to=L``
With this option, QEMU will try next available VNC displays,
until the number L, if the origianlly defined "-vnc display" is
not available, e.g. port 5900+display is already used by another
application. By default, to=0.
``host:d``
TCP connections will only be allowed from host on display d. By
convention the TCP port is 5900+d. Optionally, host can be
omitted in which case the server will accept connections from
any host.
``unix:path``
Connections will be allowed over UNIX domain sockets where path
is the location of a unix socket to listen for connections on.
``none``
VNC is initialized but not started. The monitor ``change``
command can be used to later start the VNC server.
Following the display value there may be one or more option flags
separated by commas. Valid options are
``reverse``
Connect to a listening VNC client via a "reverse" connection.
The client is specified by the display. For reverse network
connections (host:d,``reverse``), the d argument is a TCP port
number, not a display number.
``websocket``
Opens an additional TCP listening port dedicated to VNC
Websocket connections. If a bare websocket option is given, the
Websocket port is 5700+display. An alternative port can be
specified with the syntax ``websocket``\ =port.
If host is specified connections will only be allowed from this
host. It is possible to control the websocket listen address
independently, using the syntax ``websocket``\ =host:port.
If no TLS credentials are provided, the websocket connection
runs in unencrypted mode. If TLS credentials are provided, the
websocket connection requires encrypted client connections.
``password``
Require that password based authentication is used for client
connections.
The password must be set separately using the ``set_password``
command in the :ref:`pcsys_005fmonitor`. The
syntax to change your password is:
``set_password <protocol> <password>`` where <protocol> could be
either "vnc" or "spice".
If you would like to change <protocol> password expiration, you
should use ``expire_password <protocol> <expiration-time>``
where expiration time could be one of the following options:
now, never, +seconds or UNIX time of expiration, e.g. +60 to
make password expire in 60 seconds, or 1335196800 to make
password expire on "Mon Apr 23 12:00:00 EDT 2012" (UNIX time for
this date and time).
You can also use keywords "now" or "never" for the expiration
time to allow <protocol> password to expire immediately or never
expire.
``tls-creds=ID``
Provides the ID of a set of TLS credentials to use to secure the
VNC server. They will apply to both the normal VNC server socket
and the websocket socket (if enabled). Setting TLS credentials
will cause the VNC server socket to enable the VeNCrypt auth
mechanism. The credentials should have been previously created
using the ``-object tls-creds`` argument.
``tls-authz=ID``
Provides the ID of the QAuthZ authorization object against which
the client's x509 distinguished name will validated. This object
is only resolved at time of use, so can be deleted and recreated
on the fly while the VNC server is active. If missing, it will
default to denying access.
``sasl``
Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the VNC
server. The exact choice of authentication method used is
controlled from the system / user's SASL configuration file for
the 'qemu' service. This is typically found in
/etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an unprivileged user,
an environment variable SASL\_CONF\_PATH can be used to make it
search alternate locations for the service config. While some
SASL auth methods can also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI),
it is recommended that SASL always be combined with the 'tls'
and 'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server
certificates. This ensures a data encryption preventing
compromise of authentication credentials. See the
:ref:`vnc_005fsecurity` section for details on
using SASL authentication.
``sasl-authz=ID``
Provides the ID of the QAuthZ authorization object against which
the client's SASL username will validated. This object is only
resolved at time of use, so can be deleted and recreated on the
fly while the VNC server is active. If missing, it will default
to denying access.
``acl``
Legacy method for enabling authorization of clients against the
x509 distinguished name and SASL username. It results in the
creation of two ``authz-list`` objects with IDs of
``vnc.username`` and ``vnc.x509dname``. The rules for these
objects must be configured with the HMP ACL commands.
This option is deprecated and should no longer be used. The new
``sasl-authz`` and ``tls-authz`` options are a replacement.
``lossy``
Enable lossy compression methods (gradient, JPEG, ...). If this
option is set, VNC client may receive lossy framebuffer updates
depending on its encoding settings. Enabling this option can
save a lot of bandwidth at the expense of quality.
``non-adaptive``
Disable adaptive encodings. Adaptive encodings are enabled by
default. An adaptive encoding will try to detect frequently
updated screen regions, and send updates in these regions using
a lossy encoding (like JPEG). This can be really helpful to save
bandwidth when playing videos. Disabling adaptive encodings
restores the original static behavior of encodings like Tight.
``share=[allow-exclusive|force-shared|ignore]``
Set display sharing policy. 'allow-exclusive' allows clients to
ask for exclusive access. As suggested by the rfb spec this is
implemented by dropping other connections. Connecting multiple
clients in parallel requires all clients asking for a shared
session (vncviewer: -shared switch). This is the default.
'force-shared' disables exclusive client access. Useful for
shared desktop sessions, where you don't want someone forgetting
specify -shared disconnect everybody else. 'ignore' completely
ignores the shared flag and allows everybody connect
unconditionally. Doesn't conform to the rfb spec but is
traditional QEMU behavior.
``key-delay-ms``
Set keyboard delay, for key down and key up events, in
milliseconds. Default is 10. Keyboards are low-bandwidth
devices, so this slowdown can help the device and guest to keep
up and not lose events in case events are arriving in bulk.
Possible causes for the latter are flaky network connections, or
scripts for automated testing.
``audiodev=audiodev``
Use the specified audiodev when the VNC client requests audio
transmission. When not using an -audiodev argument, this option
must be omitted, otherwise is must be present and specify a
valid audiodev.

``-nic [tap|bridge|user|l2tpv3|vde|netmap|vhost-user|socket][,...][,mac=macaddr][,model=mn]``
This option is a shortcut for configuring both the on-board
(default) guest NIC hardware and the host network backend in one go.
The host backend options are the same as with the corresponding
``-netdev`` options below. The guest NIC model can be set with
``model=modelname``. Use ``model=help`` to list the available device
types. The hardware MAC address can be set with ``mac=macaddr``.
The following two example do exactly the same, to show how ``-nic``
can be used to shorten the command line length:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -netdev user,id=n1,ipv6=off -device e1000,netdev=n1,mac=52:54:98:76:54:32
|qemu_system| -nic user,ipv6=off,model=e1000,mac=52:54:98:76:54:32
``-nic none``
Indicate that no network devices should be configured. It is used to
override the default configuration (default NIC with "user" host
network backend) which is activated if no other networking options
are provided.
``-netdev user,id=id[,option][,option][,...]``
Configure user mode host network backend which requires no
administrator privilege to run. Valid options are:
``id=id``
Assign symbolic name for use in monitor commands.
``ipv4=on|off and ipv6=on|off``
Specify that either IPv4 or IPv6 must be enabled. If neither is
specified both protocols are enabled.
``net=addr[/mask]``
Set IP network address the guest will see. Optionally specify
the netmask, either in the form a.b.c.d or as number of valid
top-most bits. Default is 10.0.2.0/24.
``host=addr``
Specify the guest-visible address of the host. Default is the
2nd IP in the guest network, i.e. x.x.x.2.
``ipv6-net=addr[/int]``
Set IPv6 network address the guest will see (default is
fec0::/64). The network prefix is given in the usual hexadecimal
IPv6 address notation. The prefix size is optional, and is given
as the number of valid top-most bits (default is 64).
``ipv6-host=addr``
Specify the guest-visible IPv6 address of the host. Default is
the 2nd IPv6 in the guest network, i.e. xxxx::2.
``restrict=on|off``
If this option is enabled, the guest will be isolated, i.e. it
will not be able to contact the host and no guest IP packets
will be routed over the host to the outside. This option does
not affect any explicitly set forwarding rules.
``hostname=name``
Specifies the client hostname reported by the built-in DHCP
server.
``dhcpstart=addr``
Specify the first of the 16 IPs the built-in DHCP server can
assign. Default is the 15th to 31st IP in the guest network,
i.e. x.x.x.15 to x.x.x.31.
``dns=addr``
Specify the guest-visible address of the virtual nameserver. The
address must be different from the host address. Default is the
3rd IP in the guest network, i.e. x.x.x.3.
``ipv6-dns=addr``
Specify the guest-visible address of the IPv6 virtual
nameserver. The address must be different from the host address.
Default is the 3rd IP in the guest network, i.e. xxxx::3.
``dnssearch=domain``
Provides an entry for the domain-search list sent by the
built-in DHCP server. More than one domain suffix can be
transmitted by specifying this option multiple times. If
supported, this will cause the guest to automatically try to
append the given domain suffix(es) in case a domain name can not
be resolved.
Example:
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -nic user,dnssearch=mgmt.example.org,dnssearch=example.org
``domainname=domain``
Specifies the client domain name reported by the built-in DHCP
server.
``tftp=dir``
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in TFTP
server. The files in dir will be exposed as the root of a TFTP
server. The TFTP client on the guest must be configured in
binary mode (use the command ``bin`` of the Unix TFTP client).
``tftp-server-name=name``
In BOOTP reply, broadcast name as the "TFTP server name"
(RFC2132 option 66). This can be used to advise the guest to
load boot files or configurations from a different server than
the host address.
``bootfile=file``
When using the user mode network stack, broadcast file as the
BOOTP filename. In conjunction with ``tftp``, this can be used
to network boot a guest from a local directory.
Example (using pxelinux):
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| -hda linux.img -boot n -device e1000,netdev=n1 \
-netdev user,id=n1,tftp=/path/to/tftp/files,bootfile=/pxelinux.0
``smb=dir[,smbserver=addr]``
When using the user mode network stack, activate a built-in SMB
server so that Windows OSes can access to the host files in
``dir`` transparently. The IP address of the SMB server can be
set to addr. By default the 4th IP in the guest network is used,
i.e. x.x.x.4.
In the guest Windows OS, the line:
::
10.0.2.4 smbserver
must be added in the file ``C:\WINDOWS\LMHOSTS`` (for windows
9x/Me) or ``C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\LMHOSTS`` (Windows
NT/2000).
Then ``dir`` can be accessed in ``\\smbserver\qemu``.
Note that a SAMBA server must be installed on the host OS.
``hostfwd=[tcp|udp]:[hostaddr]:hostport-[guestaddr]:guestport``
Redirect incoming TCP or UDP connections to the host port
hostport to the guest IP address guestaddr on guest port
guestport. If guestaddr is not specified, its value is x.x.x.15
(default first address given by the built-in DHCP server). By
specifying hostaddr, the rule can be bound to a specific host
interface. If no connection type is set, TCP is used. This
option can be given multiple times.
For example, to redirect host X11 connection from screen 1 to
guest screen 0, use the following:
.. parsed-literal::
# on the host
|qemu_system| -nic user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:6001-:6000
# this host xterm should open in the guest X11 server
xterm -display :1
To redirect telnet connections from host port 5555 to telnet
port on the guest, use the following:
.. parsed-literal::
# on the host
|qemu_system| -nic user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:23
telnet localhost 5555
Then when you use on the host ``telnet localhost 5555``, you
connect to the guest telnet server.
``guestfwd=[tcp]:server:port-dev``; \ ``guestfwd=[tcp]:server:port-cmd:command``
Forward guest TCP connections to the IP address server on port
port to the character device dev or to a program executed by
cmd:command which gets spawned for each connection. This option
can be given multiple times.
You can either use a chardev directly and have that one used
throughout QEMU's lifetime, like in the following example:
.. parsed-literal::
# open 10.10.1.1:4321 on bootup, connect 10.0.2.100:1234 to it whenever
# the guest accesses it
|qemu_system| -nic user,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-tcp:10.10.1.1:4321
Or you can execute a command on every TCP connection established
by the guest, so that QEMU behaves similar to an inetd process
for that virtual server:
.. parsed-literal::
# call "netcat 10.10.1.1 4321" on every TCP connection to 10.0.2.100:1234
# and connect the TCP stream to its stdin/stdout
|qemu_system| -nic 'user,id=n1,guestfwd=tcp:10.0.2.100:1234-cmd:netcat 10.10.1.1 4321'
``-netdev tap,id=id[,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file][,downscript=dfile][,br=bridge][,helper=helper]``
Configure a host TAP network backend with ID id.
Use the network script file to configure it and the network script
dfile to deconfigure it. If name is not provided, the OS
automatically provides one. The default network configure script is
``/etc/qemu-ifup`` and the default network deconfigure script is
``/etc/qemu-ifdown``. Use ``script=no`` or ``downscript=no`` to
disable script execution.
If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, use the network helper
helper to configure the TAP interface and attach it to the bridge.
The default network helper executable is
``/path/to/qemu-bridge-helper`` and the default bridge device is
``br0``.
``fd``\ =h can be used to specify the handle of an already opened
host TAP interface.
Examples:
.. parsed-literal::
#launch a QEMU instance with the default network script
|qemu_system| linux.img -nic tap
.. parsed-literal::
#launch a QEMU instance with two NICs, each one connected
#to a TAP device
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-netdev tap,id=nd0,ifname=tap0 -device e1000,netdev=nd0 \
-netdev tap,id=nd1,ifname=tap1 -device rtl8139,netdev=nd1
.. parsed-literal::
#launch a QEMU instance with the default network helper to
#connect a TAP device to bridge br0
|qemu_system| linux.img -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=n1 \
-netdev tap,id=n1,"helper=/path/to/qemu-bridge-helper"
``-netdev bridge,id=id[,br=bridge][,helper=helper]``
Connect a host TAP network interface to a host bridge device.
Use the network helper helper to configure the TAP interface and
attach it to the bridge. The default network helper executable is
``/path/to/qemu-bridge-helper`` and the default bridge device is
``br0``.
Examples:
.. parsed-literal::
#launch a QEMU instance with the default network helper to
#connect a TAP device to bridge br0
|qemu_system| linux.img -netdev bridge,id=n1 -device virtio-net,netdev=n1
.. parsed-literal::
#launch a QEMU instance with the default network helper to
#connect a TAP device to bridge qemubr0
|qemu_system| linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=n1 -device virtio-net,netdev=n1
``-netdev socket,id=id[,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port]``
This host network backend can be used to connect the guest's network
to another QEMU virtual machine using a TCP socket connection. If
``listen`` is specified, QEMU waits for incoming connections on port
(host is optional). ``connect`` is used to connect to another QEMU
instance using the ``listen`` option. ``fd``\ =h specifies an
already opened TCP socket.
Example:
.. parsed-literal::
# launch a first QEMU instance
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-device e1000,netdev=n1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-netdev socket,id=n1,listen=:1234
# connect the network of this instance to the network of the first instance
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-device e1000,netdev=n2,mac=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
-netdev socket,id=n2,connect=127.0.0.1:1234
``-netdev socket,id=id[,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port[,localaddr=addr]]``
Configure a socket host network backend to share the guest's network
traffic with another QEMU virtual machines using a UDP multicast
socket, effectively making a bus for every QEMU with same multicast
address maddr and port. NOTES:
1. Several QEMU can be running on different hosts and share same bus
(assuming correct multicast setup for these hosts).
2. mcast support is compatible with User Mode Linux (argument
``ethN=mcast``), see http://user-mode-linux.sf.net.
3. Use ``fd=h`` to specify an already opened UDP multicast socket.
Example:
.. parsed-literal::
# launch one QEMU instance
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-device e1000,netdev=n1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-netdev socket,id=n1,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
# launch another QEMU instance on same "bus"
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-device e1000,netdev=n2,mac=52:54:00:12:34:57 \
-netdev socket,id=n2,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
# launch yet another QEMU instance on same "bus"
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-device e1000,netdev=n3,mac=52:54:00:12:34:58 \
-netdev socket,id=n3,mcast=230.0.0.1:1234
Example (User Mode Linux compat.):
.. parsed-literal::
# launch QEMU instance (note mcast address selected is UML's default)
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-device e1000,netdev=n1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-netdev socket,id=n1,mcast=239.192.168.1:1102
# launch UML
/path/to/linux ubd0=/path/to/root_fs eth0=mcast
Example (send packets from host's 1.2.3.4):
.. parsed-literal::
|qemu_system| linux.img \
-device e1000,netdev=n1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56 \
-netdev socket,id=n1,mcast=239.192.168.1:1102,localaddr=1.2.3.4
``-netdev l2tpv3,id=id,src=srcaddr,dst=dstaddr[,srcport=srcport][,dstport=dstport],txsession=txsession[,rxsession=rxsession][,ipv6][,udp][,cookie64][,counter][,pincounter][,txcookie=txcookie][,rxcookie=rxcookie][,offset=offset]``
Configure a L2TPv3 pseudowire host network backend. L2TPv3 (RFC3931)
is a popular protocol to transport Ethernet (and other Layer 2) data
frames between two systems. It is present in routers, firewalls and
the Linux kernel (from version 3.3 onwards).
This transport allows a VM to communicate to another VM, router or
firewall directly.
``src=srcaddr``
source address (mandatory)
``dst=dstaddr``
destination address (mandatory)
``udp``
select udp encapsulation (default is ip).
``srcport=srcport``
source udp port.
``dstport=dstport``
destination udp port.
``ipv6``
force v6, otherwise defaults to v4.
``rxcookie=rxcookie``; \ ``txcookie=txcookie``
Cookies are a weak form of security in the l2tpv3 specification.
Their function is mostly to prevent misconfiguration. By default
they are 32 bit.
``cookie64``
Set cookie size to 64 bit instead of the default 32
``counter=off``
Force a 'cut-down' L2TPv3 with no counter as in
draft-mkonstan-l2tpext-keyed-ipv6-tunnel-00
``pincounter=on``
Work around broken counter handling in peer. This may also help
on networks which have packet reorder.
``offset=offset``
Add an extra offset between header and data
For example, to attach a VM running on host 4.3.2.1 via L2TPv3 to
the bridge br-lan on the remote Linux host 1.2.3.4:
.. parsed-literal::
# Setup tunnel on linux host using raw ip as encapsulation
# on 1.2.3.4
ip l2tp add tunnel remote 4.3.2.1 local 1.2.3.4 tunnel_id 1 peer_tunnel_id 1 \
encap udp udp_sport 16384 udp_dport 16384
ip l2tp add session tunnel_id 1 name vmtunnel0 session_id \
0xFFFFFFFF peer_session_id 0xFFFFFFFF
ifconfig vmtunnel0 mtu 1500
ifconfig vmtunnel0 up
brctl addif br-lan vmtunnel0
# on 4.3.2.1
# launch QEMU instance - if your network has reorder or is very lossy add ,pincounter
|qemu_system| linux.img -device e1000,netdev=n1 \
-netdev l2tpv3,id=n1,src=4.2.3.1,dst=1.2.3.4,udp,srcport=16384,dstport=16384,rxsession=0xffffffff,txsession=0xffffffff,counter
``-netdev vde,id=id[,sock=socketpath][,port=n][,group=groupname][,mode=octalmode]``
Configure VDE backend to connect to PORT n of a vde switch running
on host and listening for incoming connections on socketpath. Use
GROUP groupname and MODE octalmode to change default ownership and
permissions for communication port. This option is only available if
QEMU has been compiled with vde support enabled.
Example:
.. parsed-literal::
# launch vde switch
vde_switch -F -sock /tmp/myswitch
# launch QEMU instance
|qemu_system| linux.img -nic vde,sock=/tmp/myswitch
``-netdev vhost-user,chardev=id[,vhostforce=on|off][,queues=n]``
Establish a vhost-user netdev, backed by a chardev id. The chardev
should be a unix domain socket backed one. The vhost-user uses a
specifically defined protocol to pass vhost ioctl replacement
messages to an application on the other end of the socket. On
non-MSIX guests, the feature can be forced with vhostforce. Use
'queues=n' to specify the number of queues to be created for
multiqueue vhost-user.
Example:
::
qemu -m 512 -object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=512M,mem-path=/hugetlbfs,share=on \
-numa node,memdev=mem \
-chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/path/to/socket \
-netdev type=vhost-user,id=net0,chardev=chr0 \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0
``-netdev vhost-vdpa,vhostdev=/path/to/dev``
Establish a vhost-vdpa netdev.
vDPA device is a device that uses a datapath which complies with
the virtio specifications with a vendor specific control path.
vDPA devices can be both physically located on the hardware or
emulated by software.
``-netdev hubport,id=id,hubid=hubid[,netdev=nd]``
Create a hub port on the emulated hub with ID hubid.
The hubport netdev lets you connect a NIC to a QEMU emulated hub
instead of a single netdev. Alternatively, you can also connect the
hubport to another netdev with ID nd by using the ``netdev=nd``
option.
``-net nic[,netdev=nd][,macaddr=mac][,model=type] [,name=name][,addr=addr][,vectors=v]``
Legacy option to configure or create an on-board (or machine
default) Network Interface Card(NIC) and connect it either to the
emulated hub with ID 0 (i.e. the default hub), or to the netdev nd.
If model is omitted, then the default NIC model associated with the
machine type is used. Note that the default NIC model may change in
future QEMU releases, so it is highly recommended to always specify
a model. Optionally, the MAC address can be changed to mac, the
device address set to addr (PCI cards only), and a name can be
assigned for use in monitor commands. Optionally, for PCI cards, you
can specify the number v of MSI-X vectors that the card should have;
this option currently only affects virtio cards; set v = 0 to
disable MSI-X. If no ``-net`` option is specified, a single NIC is
created. QEMU can emulate several different models of network card.
Use ``-net nic,model=help`` for a list of available devices for your
target.
``-net user|tap|bridge|socket|l2tpv3|vde[,...][,name=name]``
Configure a host network backend (with the options corresponding to
the same ``-netdev`` option) and connect it to the emulated hub 0
(the default hub). Use name to specify the name of the hub port.

SRST
The general form of a character device option is:
``-chardev backend,id=id[,mux=on|off][,options]``
Backend is one of: ``null``, ``socket``, ``udp``, ``msmouse``,
``vc``, ``ringbuf``, ``file``, ``pipe``, ``console``, ``serial``,
``pty``, ``stdio``, ``braille``, ``tty``, ``parallel``, ``parport``,
``spicevmc``, ``spiceport``. The specific backend will determine the
applicable options.
Use ``-chardev help`` to print all available chardev backend types.
All devices must have an id, which can be any string up to 127
characters long. It is used to uniquely identify this device in
other command line directives.
A character device may be used in multiplexing mode by multiple
front-ends. Specify ``mux=on`` to enable this mode. A multiplexer is
a "1:N" device, and here the "1" end is your specified chardev
backend, and the "N" end is the various parts of QEMU that can talk
to a chardev. If you create a chardev with ``id=myid`` and
``mux=on``, QEMU will create a multiplexer with your specified ID,
and you can then configure multiple front ends to use that chardev
ID for their input/output. Up to four different front ends can be
connected to a single multiplexed chardev. (Without multiplexing
enabled, a chardev can only be used by a single front end.) For
instance you could use this to allow a single stdio chardev to be
used by two serial ports and the QEMU monitor:
::
-chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
-mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
-serial chardev:char0 \
-serial chardev:char0
You can have more than one multiplexer in a system configuration;
for instance you could have a TCP port multiplexed between UART 0
and UART 1, and stdio multiplexed between the QEMU monitor and a
parallel port:
::
-chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
-mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
-parallel chardev:char0 \
-chardev tcp,...,mux=on,id=char1 \
-serial chardev:char1 \
-serial chardev:char1
When you're using a multiplexed character device, some escape
sequences are interpreted in the input. See :ref:`mux_005fkeys`.
Note that some other command line options may implicitly create
multiplexed character backends; for instance ``-serial mon:stdio``
creates a multiplexed stdio backend connected to the serial port and
the QEMU monitor, and ``-nographic`` also multiplexes the console
and the monitor to stdio.
There is currently no support for multiplexing in the other
direction (where a single QEMU front end takes input and output from
multiple chardevs).
Every backend supports the ``logfile`` option, which supplies the
path to a file to record all data transmitted via the backend. The
``logappend`` option controls whether the log file will be truncated
or appended to when opened.
The available backends are:
``-chardev null,id=id``
A void device. This device will not emit any data, and will drop any
data it receives. The null backend does not take any options.
``-chardev socket,id=id[,TCP options or unix options][,server][,nowait][,telnet][,websocket][,reconnect=seconds][,tls-creds=id][,tls-authz=id]``
Create a two-way stream socket, which can be either a TCP or a unix
socket. A unix socket will be created if ``path`` is specified.
Behaviour is undefined if TCP options are specified for a unix
socket.
``server`` specifies that the socket shall be a listening socket.
``nowait`` specifies that QEMU should not block waiting for a client
to connect to a listening socket.
``telnet`` specifies that traffic on the socket should interpret
telnet escape sequences.
``websocket`` specifies that the socket uses WebSocket protocol for
communication.
``reconnect`` sets the timeout for reconnecting on non-server
sockets when the remote end goes away. qemu will delay this many
seconds and then attempt to reconnect. Zero disables reconnecting,
and is the default.
``tls-creds`` requests enablement of the TLS protocol for
encryption, and specifies the id of the TLS credentials to use for
the handshake. The credentials must be previously created with the
``-object tls-creds`` argument.
``tls-auth`` provides the ID of the QAuthZ authorization object
against which the client's x509 distinguished name will be
validated. This object is only resolved at time of use, so can be
deleted and recreated on the fly while the chardev server is active.
If missing, it will default to denying access.
TCP and unix socket options are given below:
``TCP options: port=port[,host=host][,to=to][,ipv4][,ipv6][,nodelay]``
``host`` for a listening socket specifies the local address to
be bound. For a connecting socket species the remote host to
connect to. ``host`` is optional for listening sockets. If not
specified it defaults to ``0.0.0.0``.
``port`` for a listening socket specifies the local port to be
bound. For a connecting socket specifies the port on the remote
host to connect to. ``port`` can be given as either a port
number or a service name. ``port`` is required.
``to`` is only relevant to listening sockets. If it is
specified, and ``port`` cannot be bound, QEMU will attempt to
bind to subsequent ports up to and including ``to`` until it
succeeds. ``to`` must be specified as a port number.
``ipv4`` and ``ipv6`` specify that either IPv4 or IPv6 must be
used. If neither is specified the socket may use either
protocol.
``nodelay`` disables the Nagle algorithm.
``unix options: path=path[,abstract=on|off][,tight=on|off]``
``path`` specifies the local path of the unix socket. ``path``
is required.
``abstract`` specifies the use of the abstract socket namespace,
rather than the filesystem. Optional, defaults to false.
``tight`` sets the socket length of abstract sockets to their minimum,
rather than the full sun_path length. Optional, defaults to true.
``-chardev udp,id=id[,host=host],port=port[,localaddr=localaddr][,localport=localport][,ipv4][,ipv6]``
Sends all traffic from the guest to a remote host over UDP.
``host`` specifies the remote host to connect to. If not specified
it defaults to ``localhost``.
``port`` specifies the port on the remote host to connect to.
``port`` is required.
``localaddr`` specifies the local address to bind to. If not
specified it defaults to ``0.0.0.0``.
``localport`` specifies the local port to bind to. If not specified
any available local port will be used.
``ipv4`` and ``ipv6`` specify that either IPv4 or IPv6 must be used.
If neither is specified the device may use either protocol.
``-chardev msmouse,id=id``
Forward QEMU's emulated msmouse events to the guest. ``msmouse``
does not take any options.
``-chardev vc,id=id[[,width=width][,height=height]][[,cols=cols][,rows=rows]]``
Connect to a QEMU text console. ``vc`` may optionally be given a
specific size.
``width`` and ``height`` specify the width and height respectively
of the console, in pixels.
``cols`` and ``rows`` specify that the console be sized to fit a
text console with the given dimensions.
``-chardev ringbuf,id=id[,size=size]``
Create a ring buffer with fixed size ``size``. size must be a power
of two and defaults to ``64K``.
``-chardev file,id=id,path=path``
Log all traffic received from the guest to a file.
``path`` specifies the path of the file to be opened. This file will
be created if it does not already exist, and overwritten if it does.
``path`` is required.
``-chardev pipe,id=id,path=path``
Create a two-way connection to the guest. The behaviour differs
slightly between Windows hosts and other hosts:
On Windows, a single duplex pipe will be created at
``\\.pipe\path``.
On other hosts, 2 pipes will be created called ``path.in`` and
``path.out``. Data written to ``path.in`` will be received by the
guest. Data written by the guest can be read from ``path.out``. QEMU
will not create these fifos, and requires them to be present.
``path`` forms part of the pipe path as described above. ``path`` is
required.
``-chardev console,id=id``
Send traffic from the guest to QEMU's standard output. ``console``
does not take any options.
``console`` is only available on Windows hosts.
``-chardev serial,id=id,path=path``
Send traffic from the guest to a serial device on the host.
On Unix hosts serial will actually accept any tty device, not only
serial lines.
``path`` specifies the name of the serial device to open.
``-chardev pty,id=id``
Create a new pseudo-terminal on the host and connect to it. ``pty``
does not take any options.
``pty`` is not available on Windows hosts.
``-chardev stdio,id=id[,signal=on|off]``
Connect to standard input and standard output of the QEMU process.
``signal`` controls if signals are enabled on the terminal, that
includes exiting QEMU with the key sequence Control-c. This option
is enabled by default, use ``signal=off`` to disable it.
``-chardev braille,id=id``
Connect to a local BrlAPI server. ``braille`` does not take any
options.
``-chardev tty,id=id,path=path``
``tty`` is only available on Linux, Sun, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
and DragonFlyBSD hosts. It is an alias for ``serial``.
``path`` specifies the path to the tty. ``path`` is required.
``-chardev parallel,id=id,path=path``
\
``-chardev parport,id=id,path=path``
``parallel`` is only available on Linux, FreeBSD and DragonFlyBSD
hosts.
Connect to a local parallel port.
``path`` specifies the path to the parallel port device. ``path`` is
required.
``-chardev spicevmc,id=id,debug=debug,name=name``
``spicevmc`` is only available when spice support is built in.
``debug`` debug level for spicevmc
``name`` name of spice channel to connect to
Connect to a spice virtual machine channel, such as vdiport.
``-chardev spiceport,id=id,debug=debug,name=name``
``spiceport`` is only available when spice support is built in.
``debug`` debug level for spicevmc
``name`` name of spice port to connect to
Connect to a spice port, allowing a Spice client to handle the
traffic identified by a name (preferably a fqdn).

QEMU_ARCH_ALL)
SRST
The general form of a TPM device option is:
``-tpmdev backend,id=id[,options]``
The specific backend type will determine the applicable options. The
``-tpmdev`` option creates the TPM backend and requires a
``-device`` option that specifies the TPM frontend interface model.
Use ``-tpmdev help`` to print all available TPM backend types.
The available backends are:
``-tpmdev passthrough,id=id,path=path,cancel-path=cancel-path``
(Linux-host only) Enable access to the host's TPM using the
passthrough driver.
``path`` specifies the path to the host's TPM device, i.e., on a
Linux host this would be ``/dev/tpm0``. ``path`` is optional and by
default ``/dev/tpm0`` is used.
``cancel-path`` specifies the path to the host TPM device's sysfs
entry allowing for cancellation of an ongoing TPM command.
``cancel-path`` is optional and by default QEMU will search for the
sysfs entry to use.
Some notes about using the host's TPM with the passthrough driver:
The TPM device accessed by the passthrough driver must not be used
by any other application on the host.
Since the host's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) has already initialized the
TPM, the VM's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) will not be able to initialize
the TPM again and may therefore not show a TPM-specific menu that
would otherwise allow the user to configure the TPM, e.g., allow the
user to enable/disable or activate/deactivate the TPM. Further, if
TPM ownership is released from within a VM then the host's TPM will
get disabled and deactivated. To enable and activate the TPM again
afterwards, the host has to be rebooted and the user is required to
enter the firmware's menu to enable and activate the TPM. If the TPM
is left disabled and/or deactivated most TPM commands will fail.
To create a passthrough TPM use the following two options:
::
-tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0 -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0
Note that the ``-tpmdev`` id is ``tpm0`` and is referenced by
``tpmdev=tpm0`` in the device option.
``-tpmdev emulator,id=id,chardev=dev``
(Linux-host only) Enable access to a TPM emulator using Unix domain
socket based chardev backend.
``chardev`` specifies the unique ID of a character device backend
that provides connection to the software TPM server.
To create a TPM emulator backend device with chardev socket backend:
::
-chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/tmp/swtpm-sock -tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm -device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0

``none``
No device is allocated.
``null``

option.
``/dev/XXX``
[Linux only] Use host tty, e.g. ``/dev/ttyS0``. The host serial
port parameters are set according to the emulated ones.
``/dev/parportN``
[Linux only, parallel port only] Use host parallel port N.
Currently SPP and EPP parallel port features can be used.
``file:filename``
Write output to filename. No character can be read.
``stdio``
[Unix only] standard input/output
``pipe:filename``
name pipe filename
``COMn``
[Windows only] Use host serial port n
``udp:[remote_host]:remote_port[@[src_ip]:src_port]``
This implements UDP Net Console. When remote\_host or src\_ip
are not specified they default to ``0.0.0.0``. When not using a
specified src\_port a random port is automatically chosen.
If you just want a simple readonly console you can use
``netcat`` or ``nc``, by starting QEMU with:
``-serial udp::4555`` and nc as: ``nc -u -l -p 4555``. Any time
QEMU writes something to that port it will appear in the
netconsole session.
If you plan to send characters back via netconsole or you want
to stop and start QEMU a lot of times, you should have QEMU use
the same source port each time by using something like ``-serial
udp::4555@:4556`` to QEMU. Another approach is to use a patched
version of netcat which can listen to a TCP port and send and
receive characters via udp. If you have a patched version of
netcat which activates telnet remote echo and single char
transfer, then you can use the following options to set up a
netcat redirector to allow telnet on port 5555 to access the
QEMU port.
``QEMU Options:``
-serial udp::4555@:4556
``netcat options:``
-u -P 4555 -L 0.0.0.0:4556 -t -p 5555 -I -T
``telnet options:``
localhost 5555
``tcp:[host]:port[,server][,nowait][,nodelay][,reconnect=seconds]``
The TCP Net Console has two modes of operation. It can send the
serial I/O to a location or wait for a connection from a
location. By default the TCP Net Console is sent to host at the
port. If you use the server option QEMU will wait for a client
socket application to connect to the port before continuing,
unless the ``nowait`` option was specified. The ``nodelay``
option disables the Nagle buffering algorithm. The ``reconnect``
option only applies if noserver is set, if the connection goes
down it will attempt to reconnect at the given interval. If host
is omitted, 0.0.0.0 is assumed. Only one TCP connection at a
time is accepted. You can use ``telnet`` to connect to the
corresponding character device.
``Example to send tcp console to 192.168.0.2 port 4444``
-serial tcp:192.168.0.2:4444
``Example to listen and wait on port 4444 for connection``
-serial tcp::4444,server
``Example to not wait and listen on ip 192.168.0.100 port 4444``
-serial tcp:192.168.0.100:4444,server,nowait
``telnet:host:port[,server][,nowait][,nodelay]``
The telnet protocol is used instead of raw tcp sockets. The
options work the same as if you had specified ``-serial tcp``.
The difference is that the port acts like a telnet server or
client using telnet option negotiation. This will also allow you
to send the MAGIC\_SYSRQ sequence if you use a telnet that
supports sending the break sequence. Typically in unix telnet
you do it with Control-] and then type "send break" followed by
pressing the enter key.
``websocket:host:port,server[,nowait][,nodelay]``
The WebSocket protocol is used instead of raw tcp socket. The
port acts as a WebSocket server. Client mode is not supported.
``unix:path[,server][,nowait][,reconnect=seconds]``
A unix domain socket is used instead of a tcp socket. The option
works the same as if you had specified ``-serial tcp`` except
the unix domain socket path is used for connections.
``mon:dev_string``
This is a special option to allow the monitor to be multiplexed
onto another serial port. The monitor is accessed with key
sequence of Control-a and then pressing c. dev\_string should be
any one of the serial devices specified above. An example to
multiplex the monitor onto a telnet server listening on port
4444 would be:
``-serial mon:telnet::4444,server,nowait``
When the monitor is multiplexed to stdio in this way, Ctrl+C
will not terminate QEMU any more but will be passed to the guest
instead.
``braille``
Braille device. This will use BrlAPI to display the braille
output on a real or fake device.
``msmouse``
Three button serial mouse. Configure the guest to use Microsoft
protocol.

SRST
``-rtc [base=utc|localtime|datetime][,clock=host|rt|vm][,driftfix=none|slew]``
Specify ``base`` as ``utc`` or ``localtime`` to let the RTC start at

required for correct date in MS-DOS or Windows. To start at a
specific point in time, provide datetime in the format
``2006-06-17T16:01:21`` or ``2006-06-17``. The default base is UTC.
By default the RTC is driven by the host system time. This allows
using of the RTC as accurate reference clock inside the guest,
specifically if the host time is smoothly following an accurate
external reference clock, e.g. via NTP. If you want to isolate the
guest time from the host, you can set ``clock`` to ``rt`` instead,
which provides a host monotonic clock if host support it. To even
prevent the RTC from progressing during suspension, you can set
``clock`` to ``vm`` (virtual clock). '\ ``clock=vm``\ ' is
recommended especially in icount mode in order to preserve
determinism; however, note that in icount mode the speed of the
virtual clock is variable and can in general differ from the host
clock.

then the virtual cpu speed will be automatically adjusted to keep
virtual time within a few seconds of real time.
When the virtual cpu is sleeping, the virtual time will advance at
default speed unless ``sleep=on|off`` is specified. With
``sleep=on|off``, the virtual time will jump to the next timer
deadline instantly whenever the virtual cpu goes to sleep mode and
will not advance if no timer is enabled. This behavior give
deterministic execution times from the guest point of view.
Note that while this option can give deterministic behavior, it does
not provide cycle accurate emulation. Modern CPUs contain
superscalar out of order cores with complex cache hierarchies. The
number of instructions executed often has little or no correlation
with actual performance.
``align=on`` will activate the delay algorithm which will try to
synchronise the host clock and the virtual clock. The goal is to
have a guest running at the real frequency imposed by the shift
option. Whenever the guest clock is behind the host clock and if
``align=on`` is specified then we print a message to the user to
inform about the delay. Currently this option does not work when
``shift`` is ``auto``. Note: The sync algorithm will work for those
shift values for which the guest clock runs ahead of the host clock.
Typically this happens when the shift value is high (how high
depends on the host machine).
When ``rr`` option is specified deterministic record/replay is
enabled. Replay log is written into filename file in record mode and
read from this file in replay mode.
Option rrsnapshot is used to create new vm snapshot named snapshot
at the start of execution recording. In replay mode this option is
used to load the initial VM state.

SRST
``-watchdog model``
Create a virtual hardware watchdog device. Once enabled (by a guest
action), the watchdog must be periodically polled by an agent inside
the guest or else the guest will be restarted. Choose a model for
which your guest has drivers.
The model is the model of hardware watchdog to emulate. Use
``-watchdog help`` to list available hardware models. Only one
watchdog can be enabled for a guest.
The following models may be available:
``ib700``
iBASE 700 is a very simple ISA watchdog with a single timer.
``i6300esb``
Intel 6300ESB I/O controller hub is a much more featureful
PCI-based dual-timer watchdog.
``diag288``
A virtual watchdog for s390x backed by the diagnose 288
hypercall (currently KVM only).

"-watchdog-action reset|shutdown|poweroff|inject-nmi|pause|debug|none\n" \

QEMU_ARCH_ALL)
SRST
``-watchdog-action action``
The action controls what QEMU will do when the watchdog timer
expires. The default is ``reset`` (forcefully reset the guest).
Other possible actions are: ``shutdown`` (attempt to gracefully
shutdown the guest), ``poweroff`` (forcefully poweroff the guest),
``inject-nmi`` (inject a NMI into the guest), ``pause`` (pause the
guest), ``debug`` (print a debug message and continue), or ``none``
(do nothing).
Note that the ``shutdown`` action requires that the guest responds
to ACPI signals, which it may not be able to do in the sort of
situations where the watchdog would have expired, and thus
``-watchdog-action shutdown`` is not recommended for production use.
Examples:
``-watchdog i6300esb -watchdog-action pause``; \ ``-watchdog ib700``

Creates a memory file backend object, which can be used to back
the guest RAM with huge pages.
The ``id`` parameter is a unique ID that will be used to
reference this memory region when configuring the ``-numa``
argument.
The ``size`` option provides the size of the memory region, and
accepts common suffixes, eg ``500M``.
The ``mem-path`` provides the path to either a shared memory or
huge page filesystem mount.
The ``share`` boolean option determines whether the memory
region is marked as private to QEMU, or shared. The latter
allows a co-operating external process to access the QEMU memory
region.
The ``share`` is also required for pvrdma devices due to
limitations in the RDMA API provided by Linux.
Setting share=on might affect the ability to configure NUMA
bindings for the memory backend under some circumstances, see
Documentation/vm/numa\_memory\_policy.txt on the Linux kernel
source tree for additional details.
Setting the ``discard-data`` boolean option to on indicates that
file contents can be destroyed when QEMU exits, to avoid
unnecessarily flushing data to the backing file. Note that
``discard-data`` is only an optimization, and QEMU might not
discard file contents if it aborts unexpectedly or is terminated
using SIGKILL.
The ``merge`` boolean option enables memory merge, also known as
MADV\_MERGEABLE, so that Kernel Samepage Merging will consider
the pages for memory deduplication.
Setting the ``dump`` boolean option to off excludes the memory
from core dumps. This feature is also known as MADV\_DONTDUMP.
The ``prealloc`` boolean option enables memory preallocation.
The ``host-nodes`` option binds the memory range to a list of
NUMA host nodes.
The ``policy`` option sets the NUMA policy to one of the
following values:
``default``
default host policy
``preferred``
prefer the given host node list for allocation
``bind``
restrict memory allocation to the given host node list
``interleave``
interleave memory allocations across the given host node
list
The ``align`` option specifies the base address alignment when
QEMU mmap(2) ``mem-path``, and accepts common suffixes, eg
``2M``. Some backend store specified by ``mem-path`` requires an
alignment different than the default one used by QEMU, eg the
device DAX /dev/dax0.0 requires 2M alignment rather than 4K. In
such cases, users can specify the required alignment via this
option.
The ``pmem`` option specifies whether the backing file specified
by ``mem-path`` is in host persistent memory that can be
accessed using the SNIA NVM programming model (e.g. Intel
NVDIMM). If ``pmem`` is set to 'on', QEMU will take necessary
operations to guarantee the persistence of its own writes to
``mem-path`` (e.g. in vNVDIMM label emulation and live
migration). Also, we will map the backend-file with MAP\_SYNC
flag, which ensures the file metadata is in sync for
``mem-path`` in case of host crash or a power failure. MAP\_SYNC
requires support from both the host kernel (since Linux kernel
4.15) and the filesystem of ``mem-path`` mounted with DAX
option.
``-object memory-backend-ram,id=id,merge=on|off,dump=on|off,share=on|off,prealloc=on|off,size=size,host-nodes=host-nodes,policy=default|preferred|bind|interleave``
Creates a memory backend object, which can be used to back the
guest RAM. Memory backend objects offer more control than the
``-m`` option that is traditionally used to define guest RAM.
Please refer to ``memory-backend-file`` for a description of the
options.
``-object memory-backend-memfd,id=id,merge=on|off,dump=on|off,share=on|off,prealloc=on|off,size=size,host-nodes=host-nodes,policy=default|preferred|bind|interleave,seal=on|off,hugetlb=on|off,hugetlbsize=size``
Creates an anonymous memory file backend object, which allows
QEMU to share the memory with an external process (e.g. when
using vhost-user). The memory is allocated with memfd and
optional sealing. (Linux only)
The ``seal`` option creates a sealed-file, that will block
further resizing the memory ('on' by default).
The ``hugetlb`` option specify the file to be created resides in
the hugetlbfs filesystem (since Linux 4.14). Used in conjunction
with the ``hugetlb`` option, the ``hugetlbsize`` option specify
the hugetlb page size on systems that support multiple hugetlb
page sizes (it must be a power of 2 value supported by the
system).
In some versions of Linux, the ``hugetlb`` option is
incompatible with the ``seal`` option (requires at least Linux
4.16).
Please refer to ``memory-backend-file`` for a description of the
other options.
The ``share`` boolean option is on by default with memfd.
``-object rng-builtin,id=id``
Creates a random number generator backend which obtains entropy
from QEMU builtin functions. The ``id`` parameter is a unique ID
that will be used to reference this entropy backend from the
``virtio-rng`` device. By default, the ``virtio-rng`` device
uses this RNG backend.
``-object rng-random,id=id,filename=/dev/random``
Creates a random number generator backend which obtains entropy
from a device on the host. The ``id`` parameter is a unique ID
that will be used to reference this entropy backend from the
``virtio-rng`` device. The ``filename`` parameter specifies
which file to obtain entropy from and if omitted defaults to
``/dev/urandom``.
``-object rng-egd,id=id,chardev=chardevid``
Creates a random number generator backend which obtains entropy
from an external daemon running on the host. The ``id``
parameter is a unique ID that will be used to reference this
entropy backend from the ``virtio-rng`` device. The ``chardev``
parameter is the unique ID of a character device backend that
provides the connection to the RNG daemon.
``-object tls-creds-anon,id=id,endpoint=endpoint,dir=/path/to/cred/dir,verify-peer=on|off``
Creates a TLS anonymous credentials object, which can be used to
provide TLS support on network backends. The ``id`` parameter is
a unique ID which network backends will use to access the
credentials. The ``endpoint`` is either ``server`` or ``client``
depending on whether the QEMU network backend that uses the
credentials will be acting as a client or as a server. If
``verify-peer`` is enabled (the default) then once the handshake
is completed, the peer credentials will be verified, though this
is a no-op for anonymous credentials.
The dir parameter tells QEMU where to find the credential files.
For server endpoints, this directory may contain a file
dh-params.pem providing diffie-hellman parameters to use for the
TLS server. If the file is missing, QEMU will generate a set of
DH parameters at startup. This is a computationally expensive
operation that consumes random pool entropy, so it is
recommended that a persistent set of parameters be generated
upfront and saved.
``-object tls-creds-psk,id=id,endpoint=endpoint,dir=/path/to/keys/dir[,username=username]``
Creates a TLS Pre-Shared Keys (PSK) credentials object, which
can be used to provide TLS support on network backends. The
``id`` parameter is a unique ID which network backends will use
to access the credentials. The ``endpoint`` is either ``server``
or ``client`` depending on whether the QEMU network backend that
uses the credentials will be acting as a client or as a server.
For clients only, ``username`` is the username which will be
sent to the server. If omitted it defaults to "qemu".
The dir parameter tells QEMU where to find the keys file. It is
called "dir/keys.psk" and contains "username:key" pairs. This
file can most easily be created using the GnuTLS ``psktool``
program.
For server endpoints, dir may also contain a file dh-params.pem
providing diffie-hellman parameters to use for the TLS server.
If the file is missing, QEMU will generate a set of DH
parameters at startup. This is a computationally expensive
operation that consumes random pool entropy, so it is
recommended that a persistent set of parameters be generated up
front and saved.
``-object tls-creds-x509,id=id,endpoint=endpoint,dir=/path/to/cred/dir,priority=priority,verify-peer=on|off,passwordid=id``
Creates a TLS anonymous credentials object, which can be used to
provide TLS support on network backends. The ``id`` parameter is
a unique ID which network backends will use to access the
credentials. The ``endpoint`` is either ``server`` or ``client``
depending on whether the QEMU network backend that uses the
credentials will be acting as a client or as a server. If
``verify-peer`` is enabled (the default) then once the handshake
is completed, the peer credentials will be verified. With x509
certificates, this implies that the clients must be provided
with valid client certificates too.
The dir parameter tells QEMU where to find the credential files.
For server endpoints, this directory may contain a file
dh-params.pem providing diffie-hellman parameters to use for the
TLS server. If the file is missing, QEMU will generate a set of
DH parameters at startup. This is a computationally expensive
operation that consumes random pool entropy, so it is
recommended that a persistent set of parameters be generated
upfront and saved.
For x509 certificate credentials the directory will contain
further files providing the x509 certificates. The certificates
must be stored in PEM format, in filenames ca-cert.pem,
ca-crl.pem (optional), server-cert.pem (only servers),
server-key.pem (only servers), client-cert.pem (only clients),
and client-key.pem (only clients).
For the server-key.pem and client-key.pem files which contain
sensitive private keys, it is possible to use an encrypted
version by providing the passwordid parameter. This provides the
ID of a previously created ``secret`` object containing the
password for decryption.
The priority parameter allows to override the global default
priority used by gnutls. This can be useful if the system
administrator needs to use a weaker set of crypto priorities for
QEMU without potentially forcing the weakness onto all
applications. Or conversely if one wants wants a stronger
default for QEMU than for all other applications, they can do
this through this parameter. Its format is a gnutls priority
string as described at
https://gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html.
``-object tls-cipher-suites,id=id,priority=priority``
Creates a TLS cipher suites object, which can be used to control
the TLS cipher/protocol algorithms that applications are permitted
to use.
The ``id`` parameter is a unique ID which frontends will use to
access the ordered list of permitted TLS cipher suites from the
host.
The ``priority`` parameter allows to override the global default
priority used by gnutls. This can be useful if the system
administrator needs to use a weaker set of crypto priorities for
QEMU without potentially forcing the weakness onto all
applications. Or conversely if one wants wants a stronger
default for QEMU than for all other applications, they can do
this through this parameter. Its format is a gnutls priority
string as described at
https://gnutls.org/manual/html_node/Priority-Strings.html.
An example of use of this object is to control UEFI HTTPS Boot.
The tls-cipher-suites object exposes the ordered list of permitted
TLS cipher suites from the host side to the guest firmware, via
fw_cfg. The list is represented as an array of IANA_TLS_CIPHER
objects. The firmware uses the IANA_TLS_CIPHER array for configuring
guest-side TLS.
In the following example, the priority at which the host-side policy
is retrieved is given by the ``priority`` property.
Given that QEMU uses GNUTLS, ``priority=@SYSTEM`` may be used to
refer to /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/gnutls.config.

``-object filter-buffer,id=id,netdev=netdevid,interval=t[,queue=all|rx|tx][,status=on|off][,position=head|tail|id=<id>][,insert=behind|before]``
Interval t can't be 0, this filter batches the packet delivery:
all packets arriving in a given interval on netdev netdevid are
delayed until the end of the interval. Interval is in
microseconds. ``status`` is optional that indicate whether the
netfilter is on (enabled) or off (disabled), the default status
for netfilter will be 'on'.
queue all\|rx\|tx is an option that can be applied to any
netfilter.
``all``: the filter is attached both to the receive and the
transmit queue of the netdev (default).
``rx``: the filter is attached to the receive queue of the
netdev, where it will receive packets sent to the netdev.
``tx``: the filter is attached to the transmit queue of the
netdev, where it will receive packets sent by the netdev.
position head\|tail\|id=<id> is an option to specify where the
filter should be inserted in the filter list. It can be applied
to any netfilter.
``head``: the filter is inserted at the head of the filter list,
before any existing filters.
``tail``: the filter is inserted at the tail of the filter list,
behind any existing filters (default).
``id=<id>``: the filter is inserted before or behind the filter
specified by <id>, see the insert option below.
insert behind\|before is an option to specify where to insert
the new filter relative to the one specified with
position=id=<id>. It can be applied to any netfilter.
``before``: insert before the specified filter.
``behind``: insert behind the specified filter (default).
``-object filter-mirror,id=id,netdev=netdevid,outdev=chardevid,queue=all|rx|tx[,vnet_hdr_support][,position=head|tail|id=<id>][,insert=behind|before]``
filter-mirror on netdev netdevid,mirror net packet to
chardevchardevid, if it has the vnet\_hdr\_support flag,
filter-mirror will mirror packet with vnet\_hdr\_len.
``-object filter-redirector,id=id,netdev=netdevid,indev=chardevid,outdev=chardevid,queue=all|rx|tx[,vnet_hdr_support][,position=head|tail|id=<id>][,insert=behind|before]``
filter-redirector on netdev netdevid,redirect filter's net
packet to chardev chardevid,and redirect indev's packet to
filter.if it has the vnet\_hdr\_support flag, filter-redirector
will redirect packet with vnet\_hdr\_len. Create a
filter-redirector we need to differ outdev id from indev id, id
can not be the same. we can just use indev or outdev, but at
least one of indev or outdev need to be specified.
``-object filter-rewriter,id=id,netdev=netdevid,queue=all|rx|tx,[vnet_hdr_support][,position=head|tail|id=<id>][,insert=behind|before]``
Filter-rewriter is a part of COLO project.It will rewrite tcp
packet to secondary from primary to keep secondary tcp
connection,and rewrite tcp packet to primary from secondary make
tcp packet can be handled by client.if it has the
vnet\_hdr\_support flag, we can parse packet with vnet header.
usage: colo secondary: -object

``-object filter-dump,id=id,netdev=dev[,file=filename][,maxlen=len][,position=head|tail|id=<id>][,insert=behind|before]``
Dump the network traffic on netdev dev to the file specified by
filename. At most len bytes (64k by default) per packet are
stored. The file format is libpcap, so it can be analyzed with
tools such as tcpdump or Wireshark.
``-object colo-compare,id=id,primary_in=chardevid,secondary_in=chardevid,outdev=chardevid,iothread=id[,vnet_hdr_support][,notify_dev=id][,compare_timeout=@var{ms}][,expired_scan_cycle=@var{ms}][,max_queue_size=@var{size}]``
Colo-compare gets packet from primary\_in chardevid and
secondary\_in, then compare whether the payload of primary packet
and secondary packet are the same. If same, it will output
primary packet to out\_dev, else it will notify COLO-framework to do
checkpoint and send primary packet to out\_dev. In order to
improve efficiency, we need to put the task of comparison in
another iothread. If it has the vnet\_hdr\_support flag,
colo compare will send/recv packet with vnet\_hdr\_len.
The compare\_timeout=@var{ms} determines the maximum time of the
colo-compare hold the packet. The expired\_scan\_cycle=@var{ms}
is to set the period of scanning expired primary node network packets.
The max\_queue\_size=@var{size} is to set the max compare queue
size depend on user environment.
If user want to use Xen COLO, need to add the notify\_dev to
notify Xen colo-frame to do checkpoint.
COLO-compare must be used with the help of filter-mirror,
filter-redirector and filter-rewriter.

``-object cryptodev-backend-builtin,id=id[,queues=queues]``
Creates a cryptodev backend which executes crypto opreation from
the QEMU cipher APIS. The id parameter is a unique ID that will
be used to reference this cryptodev backend from the
``virtio-crypto`` device. The queues parameter is optional,
which specify the queue number of cryptodev backend, the default
of queues is 1.

``-object cryptodev-vhost-user,id=id,chardev=chardevid[,queues=queues]``
Creates a vhost-user cryptodev backend, backed by a chardev
chardevid. The id parameter is a unique ID that will be used to
reference this cryptodev backend from the ``virtio-crypto``
device. The chardev should be a unix domain socket backed one.
The vhost-user uses a specifically defined protocol to pass
vhost ioctl replacement messages to an application on the other
end of the socket. The queues parameter is optional, which
specify the queue number of cryptodev backend for multiqueue
vhost-user, the default of queues is 1.

``-object secret,id=id,data=string,format=raw|base64[,keyid=secretid,iv=string]``
\
``-object secret,id=id,file=filename,format=raw|base64[,keyid=secretid,iv=string]``
Defines a secret to store a password, encryption key, or some
other sensitive data. The sensitive data can either be passed
directly via the data parameter, or indirectly via the file
parameter. Using the data parameter is insecure unless the
sensitive data is encrypted.
The sensitive data can be provided in raw format (the default),
or base64. When encoded as JSON, the raw format only supports
valid UTF-8 characters, so base64 is recommended for sending
binary data. QEMU will convert from which ever format is
provided to the format it needs internally. eg, an RBD password
can be provided in raw format, even though it will be base64
encoded when passed onto the RBD sever.
For added protection, it is possible to encrypt the data
associated with a secret using the AES-256-CBC cipher. Use of
encryption is indicated by providing the keyid and iv
parameters. The keyid parameter provides the ID of a previously
defined secret that contains the AES-256 decryption key. This
key should be 32-bytes long and be base64 encoded. The iv
parameter provides the random initialization vector used for
encryption of this particular secret and should be a base64
encrypted string of the 16-byte IV.
The simplest (insecure) usage is to provide the secret inline
.. parsed-literal::
# |qemu_system| -object secret,id=sec0,data=letmein,format=raw
The simplest secure usage is to provide the secret via a file
# printf "letmein" > mypasswd.txt # QEMU\_SYSTEM\_MACRO -object
secret,id=sec0,file=mypasswd.txt,format=raw
For greater security, AES-256-CBC should be used. To illustrate
usage, consider the openssl command line tool which can encrypt
the data. Note that when encrypting, the plaintext must be
padded to the cipher block size (32 bytes) using the standard
PKCS#5/6 compatible padding algorithm.
First a master key needs to be created in base64 encoding:
::
# openssl rand -base64 32 > key.b64
# KEY=$(base64 -d key.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
Each secret to be encrypted needs to have a random
initialization vector generated. These do not need to be kept
secret
::
# openssl rand -base64 16 > iv.b64
# IV=$(base64 -d iv.b64 | hexdump -v -e '/1 "%02X"')
The secret to be defined can now be encrypted, in this case
we're telling openssl to base64 encode the result, but it could
be left as raw bytes if desired.
::
# SECRET=$(printf "letmein" |
openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -a -K $KEY -iv $IV)
When launching QEMU, create a master secret pointing to
``key.b64`` and specify that to be used to decrypt the user
password. Pass the contents of ``iv.b64`` to the second secret
.. parsed-literal::
# |qemu_system| \
-object secret,id=secmaster0,format=base64,file=key.b64 \
-object secret,id=sec0,keyid=secmaster0,format=base64,\
data=$SECRET,iv=$(<iv.b64)
``-object sev-guest,id=id,cbitpos=cbitpos,reduced-phys-bits=val,[sev-device=string,policy=policy,handle=handle,dh-cert-file=file,session-file=file]``
Create a Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) guest object,
which can be used to provide the guest memory encryption support
on AMD processors.
When memory encryption is enabled, one of the physical address
bit (aka the C-bit) is utilized to mark if a memory page is
protected. The ``cbitpos`` is used to provide the C-bit
position. The C-bit position is Host family dependent hence user
must provide this value. On EPYC, the value should be 47.
When memory encryption is enabled, we loose certain bits in
physical address space. The ``reduced-phys-bits`` is used to
provide the number of bits we loose in physical address space.
Similar to C-bit, the value is Host family dependent. On EPYC,
the value should be 5.
The ``sev-device`` provides the device file to use for
communicating with the SEV firmware running inside AMD Secure
Processor. The default device is '/dev/sev'. If hardware
supports memory encryption then /dev/sev devices are created by
CCP driver.
The ``policy`` provides the guest policy to be enforced by the
SEV firmware and restrict what configuration and operational
commands can be performed on this guest by the hypervisor. The
policy should be provided by the guest owner and is bound to the
guest and cannot be changed throughout the lifetime of the
guest. The default is 0.
If guest ``policy`` allows sharing the key with another SEV
guest then ``handle`` can be use to provide handle of the guest
from which to share the key.
The ``dh-cert-file`` and ``session-file`` provides the guest
owner's Public Diffie-Hillman key defined in SEV spec. The PDH
and session parameters are used for establishing a cryptographic
session with the guest owner to negotiate keys used for
attestation. The file must be encoded in base64.
e.g to launch a SEV guest
.. parsed-literal::
# |qemu_system_x86| \
......
-object sev-guest,id=sev0,cbitpos=47,reduced-phys-bits=5 \
-machine ...,memory-encryption=sev0
.....
``-object authz-simple,id=id,identity=string``
Create an authorization object that will control access to
network services.
The ``identity`` parameter is identifies the user and its format
depends on the network service that authorization object is
associated with. For authorizing based on TLS x509 certificates,
the identity must be the x509 distinguished name. Note that care
must be taken to escape any commas in the distinguished name.
An example authorization object to validate a x509 distinguished
name would look like:
.. parsed-literal::
# |qemu_system| \
...
-object 'authz-simple,id=auth0,identity=CN=laptop.example.com,,O=Example Org,,L=London,,ST=London,,C=GB' \
...
Note the use of quotes due to the x509 distinguished name
containing whitespace, and escaping of ','.
``-object authz-listfile,id=id,filename=path,refresh=yes|no``
Create an authorization object that will control access to
network services.
The ``filename`` parameter is the fully qualified path to a file
containing the access control list rules in JSON format.
An example set of rules that match against SASL usernames might
look like:
::
{
"rules": [
{ "match": "fred", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
{ "match": "bob", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
{ "match": "danb", "policy": "deny", "format": "glob" },
{ "match": "dan*", "policy": "allow", "format": "exact" },
],
"policy": "deny"
}
When checking access the object will iterate over all the rules
and the first rule to match will have its ``policy`` value
returned as the result. If no rules match, then the default
``policy`` value is returned.
The rules can either be an exact string match, or they can use
the simple UNIX glob pattern matching to allow wildcards to be
used.
If ``refresh`` is set to true the file will be monitored and
automatically reloaded whenever its content changes.
As with the ``authz-simple`` object, the format of the identity
strings being matched depends on the network service, but is
usually a TLS x509 distinguished name, or a SASL username.
An example authorization object to validate a SASL username
would look like:
.. parsed-literal::
# |qemu_system| \
...
-object authz-simple,id=auth0,filename=/etc/qemu/vnc-sasl.acl,refresh=yes
...
``-object authz-pam,id=id,service=string``
Create an authorization object that will control access to
network services.
The ``service`` parameter provides the name of a PAM service to
use for authorization. It requires that a file
``/etc/pam.d/service`` exist to provide the configuration for
the ``account`` subsystem.
An example authorization object to validate a TLS x509
distinguished name would look like:
.. parsed-literal::
# |qemu_system| \
...
-object authz-pam,id=auth0,service=qemu-vnc
...
There would then be a corresponding config file for PAM at
``/etc/pam.d/qemu-vnc`` that contains:
::
account requisite pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow \
file=/etc/qemu/vnc.allow
Finally the ``/etc/qemu/vnc.allow`` file would contain the list
of x509 distingished names that are permitted access
::

``-object iothread,id=id,poll-max-ns=poll-max-ns,poll-grow=poll-grow,poll-shrink=poll-shrink``
Creates a dedicated event loop thread that devices can be
assigned to. This is known as an IOThread. By default device
emulation happens in vCPU threads or the main event loop thread.
This can become a scalability bottleneck. IOThreads allow device
emulation and I/O to run on other host CPUs.
The ``id`` parameter is a unique ID that will be used to
reference this IOThread from ``-device ...,iothread=id``.
Multiple devices can be assigned to an IOThread. Note that not
all devices support an ``iothread`` parameter.
The ``query-iothreads`` QMP command lists IOThreads and reports
their thread IDs so that the user can configure host CPU
pinning/affinity.
IOThreads use an adaptive polling algorithm to reduce event loop
latency. Instead of entering a blocking system call to monitor
file descriptors and then pay the cost of being woken up when an
event occurs, the polling algorithm spins waiting for events for
a short time. The algorithm's default parameters are suitable
for many cases but can be adjusted based on knowledge of the
workload and/or host device latency.
The ``poll-max-ns`` parameter is the maximum number of
nanoseconds to busy wait for events. Polling can be disabled by
setting this value to 0.
The ``poll-grow`` parameter is the multiplier used to increase
the polling time when the algorithm detects it is missing events
due to not polling long enough.
The ``poll-shrink`` parameter is the divisor used to decrease
the polling time when the algorithm detects it is spending too
long polling without encountering events.
The polling parameters can be modified at run-time using the
``qom-set`` command (where ``iothread1`` is the IOThread's
``id``):
::
(qemu) qom-set /objects/iothread1 poll-max-ns 100000
