Description: Guest-side qemu-system agent

 QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports

 ARM, CRIS, i386, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, SH4,

 SPARC and x86-64 emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves

 reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.

 .

 This package provides a daemon (agent) to run inside qemu-system

 guests (full system emulation).  It communicates with the host using

 a virtio-serial channel org.qemu.guest_agent.0, and allows one to perform

 some functions in the guest from the host, including:

  - querying and setting guest system time

  - performing guest filesystem sync operation

  - initiating guest shutdown or suspend to ram

  - accessing guest files

  - freezing/thawing guest filesystem operations

  - others.

 .

 Install this package on a system which is running as guest inside

 qemu virtual machine.  It is not used on the host.
