	// Use iso from provided url. Qemu must support
	// curl block device. This defaults to `false`.
	ISOSkipCache bool `mapstructure:"iso_skip_cache" required:"false"`
	// The accelerator type to use when running the VM.
	// This may be `none`, `kvm`, `tcg`, `hax`, `hvf`, `whpx`, or `xen`. The appropriate
	// software must have already been installed on your build machine to use the
	// accelerator you specified. When no accelerator is specified, Packer will try
	// to use `kvm` if it is available but will default to `tcg` otherwise.
	//
	// ~> The `hax` accelerator has issues attaching CDROM ISOs. This is an
	// upstream issue which can be tracked
	// [here](https://github.com/intel/haxm/issues/20).
	//
	// ~> The `hvf` and `whpx` accelerator are new and experimental as of
	// [QEMU 2.12.0](https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.12#Host_support).
	// You may encounter issues unrelated to Packer when using these.  You may need to
	// add [ "-global", "virtio-pci.disable-modern=on" ] to `qemuargs` depending on the
	// guest operating system.
	//
	// ~> For `whpx`, note that [Stefan Weil's QEMU for Windows distribution](https://qemu.weilnetz.de/w64/)
	// does not include WHPX support and users may need to compile or source a
	// build of QEMU for Windows themselves with WHPX support.
	Accelerator string `mapstructure:"accelerator" required:"false"`
	// Additional disks to create. Uses `vm_name` as the disk name template and
	// appends `-#` where `#` is the position in the array. `#` starts at 1 since 0
	// is the default disk. Each string represents the disk image size in bytes.
	// Optional suffixes 'k' or 'K' (kilobyte, 1024), 'M' (megabyte, 1024k), 'G'
	// (gigabyte, 1024M), 'T' (terabyte, 1024G), 'P' (petabyte, 1024T) and 'E'
	// (exabyte, 1024P)  are supported. 'b' is ignored. Per qemu-img documentation.
	// Each additional disk uses the same disk parameters as the default disk.
	// Unset by default.
	AdditionalDiskSize []string `mapstructure:"disk_additional_size" required:"false"`
	// The number of cpus to use when building the VM.
	//  The default is `1` CPU.
	CpuCount int `mapstructure:"cpus" required:"false"`
	// The firmware file to be used by QEMU, which is to be set by the -bios
	// option of QEMU. Particularly, this option can be set to use EFI instead
	// of BIOS, by using "OVMF.fd" from OpenFirmware.
	// If unset, no -bios option is passed to QEMU, using the default of QEMU.
	// Also see the QEMU documentation.
	Firmware string `mapstructure:"firmware" required:"false"`
	// The interface to use for the disk. Allowed values include any of `ide`,
	// `scsi`, `virtio` or `virtio-scsi`^\*. Note also that any boot commands
	// or kickstart type scripts must have proper adjustments for resulting
	// device names. The Qemu builder uses `virtio` by default.
	//
	// ^\* Please be aware that use of the `scsi` disk interface has been
	// disabled by Red Hat due to a bug described
	// [here](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019220). If you are
	// running Qemu on RHEL or a RHEL variant such as CentOS, you *must* choose
	// one of the other listed interfaces. Using the `scsi` interface under
	// these circumstances will cause the build to fail.
	DiskInterface string `mapstructure:"disk_interface" required:"false"`
	// The size in bytes of the hard disk of the VM. Suffix with the first
	// letter of common byte types. Use "k" or "K" for kilobytes, "M" for
	// megabytes, G for gigabytes, and T for terabytes. If no value is provided
	// for disk_size, Packer uses a default of `40960M` (40 GB). If a disk_size
	// number is provided with no units, Packer will default to Megabytes.
	DiskSize string `mapstructure:"disk_size" required:"false"`
	// Packer resizes the QCOW2 image using
	// qemu-img resize.  Set this option to true to disable resizing.
	// Defaults to false.
	SkipResizeDisk bool `mapstructure:"skip_resize_disk" required:"false"`
	// The cache mode to use for disk. Allowed values include any of
	// `writethrough`, `writeback`, `none`, `unsafe` or `directsync`. By
	// default, this is set to `writeback`.
	DiskCache string `mapstructure:"disk_cache" required:"false"`
	// The discard mode to use for disk. Allowed values
	// include any of unmap or ignore. By default, this is set to ignore.
	DiskDiscard string `mapstructure:"disk_discard" required:"false"`
	// The detect-zeroes mode to use for disk.
	// Allowed values include any of unmap, on or off. Defaults to off.
	// When the value is "off" we don't set the flag in the qemu command, so that
	// Packer still works with old versions of QEMU that don't have this option.
	DetectZeroes string `mapstructure:"disk_detect_zeroes" required:"false"`
	// Packer compacts the QCOW2 image using
	// qemu-img convert.  Set this option to true to disable compacting.
	// Defaults to false.
	SkipCompaction bool `mapstructure:"skip_compaction" required:"false"`
	// Apply compression to the QCOW2 disk file
	// using qemu-img convert. Defaults to false.
	DiskCompression bool `mapstructure:"disk_compression" required:"false"`
	// Either `qcow2` or `raw`, this specifies the output format of the virtual
	// machine image. This defaults to `qcow2`. Due to a long-standing bug with
	// `qemu-img convert` on OSX, sometimes the qemu-img convert call will
	// create a corrupted image. If this is an issue for you, make sure that the
	// the output format matches the input file's format, and Packer will
	// perform a simple copy operation instead. See
	// https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1776920 for more details.
	Format string `mapstructure:"format" required:"false"`
	// Packer defaults to building QEMU virtual machines by
	// launching a GUI that shows the console of the machine being built. When this
	// value is set to `true`, the machine will start without a console.
	//
	// You can still see the console if you make a note of the VNC display
	// number chosen, and then connect using `vncviewer -Shared <host>:<display>`
	Headless bool `mapstructure:"headless" required:"false"`
	// Packer defaults to building from an ISO file, this parameter controls
	// whether the ISO URL supplied is actually a bootable QEMU image. When
	// this value is set to `true`, the machine will either clone the source or
	// use it as a backing file (if `use_backing_file` is `true`); then, it
	// will resize the image according to `disk_size` and boot it.
	DiskImage bool `mapstructure:"disk_image" required:"false"`
	// Only applicable when disk_image is true
	// and format is qcow2, set this option to true to create a new QCOW2
	// file that uses the file located at iso_url as a backing file. The new file
	// will only contain blocks that have changed compared to the backing file, so
	// enabling this option can significantly reduce disk usage. If true, Packer
	// will force the `skip_compaction` also to be true as well to skip disk
	// conversion which would render the backing file feature useless.
	UseBackingFile bool `mapstructure:"use_backing_file" required:"false"`
	// The type of machine emulation to use. Run your qemu binary with the
	// flags `-machine help` to list available types for your system. This
	// defaults to `pc`.
	MachineType string `mapstructure:"machine_type" required:"false"`
	// The amount of memory to use when building the VM
	// in megabytes. This defaults to 512 megabytes.
	MemorySize int `mapstructure:"memory" required:"false"`
	// The driver to use for the network interface. Allowed values `ne2k_pci`,
	// `i82551`, `i82557b`, `i82559er`, `rtl8139`, `e1000`, `pcnet`, `virtio`,
	// `virtio-net`, `virtio-net-pci`, `usb-net`, `i82559a`, `i82559b`,
	// `i82559c`, `i82550`, `i82562`, `i82557a`, `i82557c`, `i82801`,
	// `vmxnet3`, `i82558a` or `i82558b`. The Qemu builder uses `virtio-net` by
	// default.
	NetDevice string `mapstructure:"net_device" required:"false"`
	// Connects the network to this bridge instead of using the user mode
	// networking.
	//
	// **NB** This bridge must already exist. You can use the `virbr0` bridge
	// as created by vagrant-libvirt.
	//
	// **NB** This will automatically enable the QMP socket (see QMPEnable).
	//
	// **NB** This only works in Linux based OSes.
	NetBridge string `mapstructure:"net_bridge" required:"false"`
	// This is the path to the directory where the
	// resulting virtual machine will be created. This may be relative or absolute.
	// If relative, the path is relative to the working directory when packer
	// is executed. This directory must not exist or be empty prior to running
	// the builder. By default this is output-BUILDNAME where "BUILDNAME" is the
	// name of the build.
	OutputDir string `mapstructure:"output_directory" required:"false"`
	// Allows complete control over the qemu command line (though not qemu-img).
	// Each array of strings makes up a command line switch
	// that overrides matching default switch/value pairs. Any value specified
	// as an empty string is ignored. All values after the switch are
	// concatenated with no separator.
	//
	// ~> **Warning:** The qemu command line allows extreme flexibility, so
	// beware of conflicting arguments causing failures of your run.
	// For instance adding a "--drive" or "--device" override will mean that
	// none of the default configuration Packer sets will be used. To see the
	// defaults that Packer sets, look in your packer.log
	// file (set PACKER_LOG=1 to get verbose logging) and search for the
	// qemu-system-x86 command. The arguments are all printed for review, and
	// you can use those arguments along with the template engines allowed
	// by qemu-args to set up a working configuration that includes both the
	// Packer defaults and your extra arguments.
	//
	// Another pitfall could be setting arguments like --no-acpi, which could
	// break the ability to send power signal type commands
	// (e.g., shutdown -P now) to the virtual machine, thus preventing proper
	// shutdown.
	//
	// The following shows a sample usage:
	//
	// In JSON:
	// ```json
	//   "qemuargs": [
	//     [ "-m", "1024M" ],
	//     [ "--no-acpi", "" ],
	//     [
	//       "-netdev",
	//       "user,id=mynet0,",
	//       "hostfwd=hostip:hostport-guestip:guestport",
	//       ""
	//     ],
	//     [ "-device", "virtio-net,netdev=mynet0" ]
	//   ]
	// ```
	//
	// In HCL2:
	// ```hcl
	//   qemuargs = [
	//     [ "-m", "1024M" ],
	//     [ "--no-acpi", "" ],
	//     [
	//       "-netdev",
	//       "user,id=mynet0,",
	//       "hostfwd=hostip:hostport-guestip:guestport",
	//       ""
	//     ],
	//     [ "-device", "virtio-net,netdev=mynet0" ]
	//   ]
	// ```
	//
	// would produce the following (not including other defaults supplied by
	// the builder and not otherwise conflicting with the qemuargs):
	//
	// ```text
	// qemu-system-x86 -m 1024m --no-acpi -netdev
	// user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=hostip:hostport-guestip:guestport -device
	// virtio-net,netdev=mynet0"
	// ```
	//
	// ~> **Windows Users:** [QEMU for Windows](https://qemu.weilnetz.de/)
	// builds are available though an environmental variable does need to be
	// set for QEMU for Windows to redirect stdout to the console instead of
	// stdout.txt.
	//
	// The following shows the environment variable that needs to be set for
	// Windows QEMU support:
	//
	// ```text
	// setx SDL_STDIO_REDIRECT=0
	// ```
	//
	// You can also use the `SSHHostPort` template variable to produce a packer
	// template that can be invoked by `make` in parallel:
	//
	// In JSON:
	// ```json
	//   "qemuargs": [
	//     [ "-netdev", "user,hostfwd=tcp::{{ .SSHHostPort }}-:22,id=forward"],
	//     [ "-device", "virtio-net,netdev=forward,id=net0"]
	//   ]
	// ```
	//
	// In HCL2:
	// ```hcl
	//   qemuargs = [
	//     [ "-netdev", "user,hostfwd=tcp::{{ .SSHHostPort }}-:22,id=forward"],
	//     [ "-device", "virtio-net,netdev=forward,id=net0"]
	//   ]
	//
	// `make -j 3 my-awesome-packer-templates` spawns 3 packer processes, each
	// of which will bind to their own SSH port as determined by each process.
	// This will also work with WinRM, just change the port forward in
	// `qemuargs` to map to WinRM's default port of `5985` or whatever value
	// you have the service set to listen on.
	//
	// This is a template engine and allows access to the following variables:
	// `{{ .HTTPIP }}`, `{{ .HTTPPort }}`, `{{ .HTTPDir }}`,
	// `{{ .OutputDir }}`, `{{ .Name }}`, and `{{ .SSHHostPort }}`
	QemuArgs [][]string `mapstructure:"qemuargs" required:"false"`
	// A map of custom arguments to pass to qemu-img commands, where the key
	// is the subcommand, and the values are lists of strings for each flag.
	// Example:
	//
	// In JSON:
	// ```json
	// {
	//  "qemu_img_args": {
	//    "convert": ["-o", "preallocation=full"],
	//	  "resize": ["-foo", "bar"]
	//  }
	// ```
	// Please note
	// that unlike qemuargs, these commands are not split into switch-value
	// sub-arrays, because the basic elements in qemu-img calls are  unlikely
	// to need an actual override.
	// The arguments will be constructed as follows:
	// - Convert:
	// 	Default is `qemu-img convert -O $format $sourcepath $targetpath`. Adding
	// 	arguments ["-foo", "bar"] to qemu_img_args.convert will change this to
	// 	`qemu-img convert -foo bar -O $format $sourcepath $targetpath`
	// - Create:
	// 	Default is `create -f $format $targetpath $size`. Adding arguments
	// 	["-foo", "bar"] to qemu_img_args.create will change this to
	// 	"create -f qcow2 -foo bar target.qcow2 1234M"
	// - Resize:
	// 	Default is `qemu-img resize -f $format $sourcepath $size`. Adding
	// 	arguments ["-foo", "bar"] to qemu_img_args.resize will change this to
	// 	`qemu-img resize -f $format -foo bar $sourcepath $size`
	QemuImgArgs QemuImgArgs `mapstructure:"qemu_img_args" required:"false"`
	// The name of the Qemu binary to look for. This
	// defaults to qemu-system-x86_64, but may need to be changed for
	// some platforms. For example qemu-kvm, or qemu-system-i386 may be a
	// better choice for some systems.
	QemuBinary string `mapstructure:"qemu_binary" required:"false"`
	// Enable QMP socket. Location is specified by `qmp_socket_path`. Defaults
	// to false.
	QMPEnable bool `mapstructure:"qmp_enable" required:"false"`
	// QMP Socket Path when `qmp_enable` is true. Defaults to
	// `output_directory`/`vm_name`.monitor.
	QMPSocketPath string `mapstructure:"qmp_socket_path" required:"false"`
	// If true, do not pass a -display option
	// to qemu, allowing it to choose the default. This may be needed when running
	// under macOS, and getting errors about sdl not being available.
	UseDefaultDisplay bool `mapstructure:"use_default_display" required:"false"`
	// What QEMU -display option to use. Defaults to gtk, use none to not pass the
	// -display option allowing QEMU to choose the default. This may be needed when
	// running under macOS, and getting errors about sdl not being available.
	Display string `mapstructure:"display" required:"false"`
	// The IP address that should be
	// binded to for VNC. By default packer will use 127.0.0.1 for this. If you
	// wish to bind to all interfaces use 0.0.0.0.
	VNCBindAddress string `mapstructure:"vnc_bind_address" required:"false"`
	// Whether or not to set a password on the VNC server. This option
	// automatically enables the QMP socket. See `qmp_socket_path`. Defaults to
	// `false`.
	VNCUsePassword bool `mapstructure:"vnc_use_password" required:"false"`
	// The minimum and maximum port
	// to use for VNC access to the virtual machine. The builder uses VNC to type
	// the initial boot_command. Because Packer generally runs in parallel,
	// Packer uses a randomly chosen port in this range that appears available. By
	// default this is 5900 to 6000. The minimum and maximum ports are inclusive.
	// The minimum port cannot be set below 5900 due to a quirk in how QEMU parses
	// vnc display address.
	VNCPortMin int `mapstructure:"vnc_port_min" required:"false"`
	VNCPortMax int `mapstructure:"vnc_port_max"`
	// This is the name of the image (QCOW2 or IMG) file for
	// the new virtual machine. By default this is packer-BUILDNAME, where
	// "BUILDNAME" is the name of the build. Currently, no file extension will be
	// used unless it is specified in this option.
	VMName string `mapstructure:"vm_name" required:"false"`
	// The interface to use for the CDROM device which contains the ISO image.
	// Allowed values include any of `ide`, `scsi`, `virtio` or
