Commit Message

Kshitij Suri March 22, 2022, 8:18 a.m. UTC
Currently screendump only supports PPM format, which is un-compressed and not
standard. Added a "format" parameter to qemu monitor screendump capabilites
to support PNG image capture using libpng. The param was added in QAPI schema
of screendump present in ui.json along with png_save() function which converts
pixman_image to PNG. HMP command equivalent was also modified to support the
feature.

Example usage:
{ "execute": "screendump", "arguments": { "filename": "/tmp/image",
"format":"png" } }

Resolves: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/718

This switch looks pointless - the code is passing the default into
qapi_enum_parse already, this doesn't need to handle defaulting
again. This just needs

        format = qapi_enum_parse(&ImageFormat_lookup, input_format,
                                 IMAGE_FORMAT_PPM, &err);
        if (err) {
           goto end;
         }

Apologies, missed that. Will update in the following patch.

Correct.  See my review of v1 for a detailed explanation.
