Few months back, was planning on using them for qemu-ga. Looks like they're not in yet, but FWIW qemu-ga has been using g_base64_encode() since initial commit. I think Jan had some reservations about g_base64_decode()'s error-handling, but that shouldn't be an issue in this particular case. I agree on the QMP approach sounding a whole lot cleaner, especially given that Juan recently did a some cleanups to remove non-migration QEMUFile users: 3a230256e8418f5cc9761f36feb6952d7ca38d73 > > Jan, am I correct? > > Regards, > > Anthony Liguori > >
