In general, it is better if the client controls the filename, and not
qemu. This is because things like libvirt like to run qemu in a
highly-constrained environment, where the caller can pass in a file
descriptor that qemu cannot itself open(). So returning a filename is
pointless if the filename was already provided by the caller.
Eric, I absolutely and positively agree with you. I was just
brainstorming. Consider my pseudo-C code as the mailing list analog of
somebody scribbling on a white board and trying explain an idea.
I agree with you the file name should come from the qmp client.
