+# @query-qmp-schema
+#
+# Command query-qmp-schema exposes the QMP wire ABI as an array of
+# SchemaInfo. This lets QMP clients figure out what commands and
+# events are available in this QEMU, and their parameters and results.
+#
+# However, the SchemaInfo can't reflect all the rules and restrictions
+# that apply to QMP. It's interface introspection (figuring out
+# what's there), not interface specification. The specification is in
+# the QAPI schema.
+#
+# Furthermore, while we strive to keep the QMP wire format
+# backwards-compatible across qemu versions, the introspection output
+# is not guaranteed to have the same stability. For example, one
+# version of qemu may list an object member as an optional
+# non-variant, while another lists the same member only through the
+# object's variants; or the type of a member may change from a generic
+# string into a specific enum or from one specific type into an
+# alternate that includes the original type alongside something else.
+#
+# Returns: array of @SchemaInfo, where each element describes an
+# entity in the ABI: command, event, type, ...
+#
+# The order of the various SchemaInfo is unspecified; however, all
+# names are guaranteed to be unique (no name will be duplicated with
+# different meta-types).
+#
+# Note: the QAPI schema is also used to help define *internal*
+# interfaces, by defining QAPI types. These are not part of the QMP
+# wire ABI, and therefore not returned by this command.
+#
+# Since: 2.5
