 Usage
 -----
 
-To enable QMP, you need a QEMU monitor instance in "control mode". There are
-two ways of doing this.
+You can use the -qmp option to enable QMP. For example, the following
+makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
 
-The simplest one is using the '-qmp' command-line option. The following
-example makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
+$ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server,nowait
 
-  $ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server
+However, for more flexibility and to make use of more options, the -mon
+command-line option should be used. For instance, the following example
+creates one HMP instance (human monitor) on stdio and one QMP instance
+on localhost port 4444:
 
-However, in order to have more complex combinations, like multiple monitors,
-the '-mon' command-line option should be used along with the '-chardev' one.
-For instance, the following example creates one user monitor on stdio and one
-QMP monitor on localhost port 4444.
-
-   $ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
-                -chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server \
-                -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control
+$ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
+             -chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server,nowait \
+             -mon chardev=mon1,mode=control,pretty=on
 
 Please, refer to QEMU's manpage for more information.

-When changing QMP's interface (by adding new commands, events or modifying
-existing ones) it's mandatory to update the relevant documentation, which is
-one (or more) of the files listed in the 'Introduction' section*.
+Please, refer to the qapi-schema.json file for a complete command reference.
 
-Also, it's strongly recommended to send the documentation patch first, before
-doing any code change. This is so because:
-
-  1. Avoids the code dictating the interface
-
-  2. Review can improve your interface.  Letting that happen before
-     you implement it can save you work.
-
-* The qmp-commands.txt file is generated from the qmp-commands.hx one, which
-  is the file that should be edited.
