+# @human-monitor-command:
+#
+# Execute a command on the human monitor and return the output.
+#
+# @command-line: the command to execute in the human monitor
+#
+# @cpu-index: #optional The CPU to use for commands that require an implicit CPU
+#
+# Returns: the output of the command as a string
+#
+# Since: 0.14.0
+#
+# Notes: This command only exists as a stop-gap. It's use is highly
+# discouraged. The semantics of this command are not guaranteed.
+#
+# Known limitations:
+#
+# o This command is stateless, this means that commands that depend
+# on state information (such as getfd) might not work
+#
+# o Commands that prompt the user for data (eg. 'cont' when the block
+# device is encrypted) don't currently work
