#     waiting on others.  This is the default.
#
# @grouped: If any Action fails after the Transaction succeeds, cancel
#     all Actions.  Actions do not complete until all Actions are
#     ready to complete.  May be rejected by Actions that do not
#     support this completion mode.

##
# @transaction:
#
# Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically.  If
# any operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be
# abandoned and the appropriate error returned.
#
# For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file
# to use for the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if
# not specified, is qcow2.
#
# Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
# contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to
# reuse an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should
# ensure that the new image file has the same contents as the current
# one; QEMU cannot perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is
# achieved by using the current image file as the backing file for the
# new image.
#
# On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
#
# For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the
# snapshot's name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already
# exists, the request will be rejected.  Only some image formats
# support it, for example, qcow2, and rbd,
#
# On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot
# in the transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the
# user needs to fix it later with qemu-img or other command.
#
# @actions: List of @TransactionAction; information needed for the
#     respective operations.
#
# @properties: structure of additional options to control the
#     execution of the transaction.  See @TransactionProperties for
#     additional detail.
#
# Errors:
#     Any errors from commands in the transaction
#
# Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure.  Therefore, there
#     will be information on only one failed operation returned in an
#     error condition, and subsequent actions will not have been
#     attempted.
