# Management API
|
|
|
|
*(This page is the current draft of the proposal. It is not implemented yet.)*
|
|
|
|
The API should be implemented as a set of qrexec calls. This is to make it easy
|
|
to set the policy using current mechanism.
|
|
|
|
## The calls
|
|
|
|
| call | dest | argument | inside | return | note |

## General notes
|
|
|
|
- there is no provision for `qvm-run`, but there already exists `qubes.VMShell` call
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
- something to configure/update policy
|
|
- notifications
|
|
- how to constrain the events?
|
|
- how to pass the parameters? maybe XML, since this is trusted anyway and
|
|
parser may be complicated
|
|
- how to constrain the possible values for `mgmt.vm.property.Set` etc, like
|
|
"you can change `netvm`, but you have to pick from this set"; this currently
|
|
can be done by writing an extension
|
|
- a call for executing `*.desktop` file from `/usr/share/applications`, for use
|
|
with appmenus without giving access to `qubes.VMShell`; currently this can be
|
|
done by writing custom qrexec calls
|
|
- maybe some generator for `.desktop` for appmenus, which would wrap calls in
|
|
`qrexec-client-vm`
|
