[Qemu-devel] Re: Exposing monitor on socket interface?

The default device is vc in graphical mode and stdio in non graphical mode. This option can be used several times to simulate up to 4 serial ports. Use -serial none to disable all serial ports. Available character devices are: tcp:[host]:port[,server][,nowait][,nodelay] 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. If host is omitted, 0.0.0.0 is assumed. Only one TCP connection at a time is accepted.

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. I think that it is difficult to get more options that qemu in that department :-) Later, Juan.

Thanks a lot, Juan!
