Hi Luiz,

Yes, I have replied to it in patch series v4. You can look at it
as link below:

As the example I post in the link, I think the main benefit for console command
is that it's more friendly.

A simple example, when we try to input "hello world" to this char device,
the memchar_write command would like this:

(qemu) memchar_write foo "hello world"

We need to add quotation marks for the string due to the monitor behaver.(Would
treat as another argument for the string which has space in it.)

The console command can avoid this like:

(qemu) console foo
foo: hello world
\r / ^]
(qemu)

It drops you into an interactive mode where it's like your at the serial console
and \r or ctrl-] escape sequences takes you back to the monitor suggested by Anthony.

I hope this can answer your question. :)

I really think this is wrong. In its current form, this command is
memchar_write with a prompt.

My understanding of a console command is that you attach to the serial port,
see stuff being written by the guest and is able to also write stuff.
