qemu-guest-agent - 1:8.2.4+ds-1 main

QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports Alpha, ARM,
CRIS, i386, LoongArch, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, RISC-V,
S390x, SH4, SPARC, x86-64, Xtensa and other emulations. 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.
