93# @transaction:
94#
95# Executes a number of transactionable QMP commands atomically. If any
96# operation fails, then the entire set of actions will be abandoned and the
97# appropriate error returned.
98#
99# For external snapshots, the dictionary contains the device, the file to use for
100# the new snapshot, and the format.  The default format, if not specified, is
101# qcow2.
102#
103# Each new snapshot defaults to being created by QEMU (wiping any
104# contents if the file already exists), but it is also possible to reuse
105# an externally-created file.  In the latter case, you should ensure that
106# the new image file has the same contents as the current one; QEMU cannot
107# perform any meaningful check.  Typically this is achieved by using the
108# current image file as the backing file for the new image.
109#
110# On failure, the original disks pre-snapshot attempt will be used.
111#
112# For internal snapshots, the dictionary contains the device and the snapshot's
113# name.  If an internal snapshot matching name already exists, the request will
114# be rejected.  Only some image formats support it, for example, qcow2, rbd,
115# and sheepdog.
116#
117# On failure, qemu will try delete the newly created internal snapshot in the
118# transaction.  When an I/O error occurs during deletion, the user needs to fix
119# it later with qemu-img or other command.
120#
121# @actions: List of @TransactionAction;
122#           information needed for the respective operations.
123#
124# @properties: structure of additional options to control the
125#              execution of the transaction. See @TransactionProperties
126#              for additional detail.
127#
128# Returns: nothing on success
129#
130#          Errors depend on the operations of the transaction
131#
132# Note: The transaction aborts on the first failure.  Therefore, there will be
133# information on only one failed operation returned in an error condition, and
134# subsequent actions will not have been attempted.
