+2  Q: 

qemu guest automation

I've not been able to find any documentation stating the existence of an API that can be used to automate things inside of a qemu guest.

For example, I would like to launch a process inside of the guest machine from the host machine. Libvirt does not appear to contain such functionality.

+1  A: 

As far as I know, the only way to communicate to the guest is through the network bridge.
