+block_job_cancel
+----------------
+
+Stop an active block streaming operation.
+
+This command returns once the active block streaming operation has been
+stopped.  It is an error to call this command if no operation is in progress.
+
+The image file retains its backing file unless the streaming operation happens
+to complete just as it is being cancelled.
+
+A new block streaming operation can be started at a later time to finish
+copying all data from the backing file.
+
+Arguments:
+
+- device: device name (json-string)
+
+Errors:
+
+DeviceNotActive: streaming is not active on this device
+DeviceInUse:     cancellation already in progress
+
+Examples:
+
+-> { "execute": "block_job_cancel", "arguments": { "device": "virtio0" } }
+<- { "return":  {} }
