[Qemu-discuss] QEMU guest agent behavior with 'guest-sync-delimited'

[Mike Harris]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the qemu guest agent, and I'm not sure if I'm doing sync right

I'm sending the 0xff char, then the guest-sync-delimited command. I get back a json syntax error, then the 0xff byte.Is the syntax error expected? Should i just ignore it until I see 0xff?

Example (the guest agent serial device is running on tcp:5501 on the host.

address@hidden:~$ echo -e \\xff'{"execute": "guest-sync-delimited", "arguments": {"id": 1}}' | nc -q5 localhost 5501

{"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Invalid JSON syntax"}}
