Barrier client protocol
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
QEMU's ``input-barrier`` device implements the client end of
|
|
the KVM (Keyboard-Video-Mouse) software
|
|
`Barrier <https://github.com/debauchee/barrier>`__.
|
|
|
|
This document briefly describes the protocol as we implement it.
|
|
|
|
Message format
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Message format between the server and client is in two parts:
|
|
|
|
#. the payload length, a 32bit integer in network endianness
|
|
#. the payload
|
|
|
|
The payload starts with a 4byte string (without NUL) which is the
|
|
command. The first command between the server and the client
|
|
is the only command not encoded on 4 bytes ("Barrier").
|
|
The remaining part of the payload is decoded according to the command.
|
|
|
|
Protocol Description
