 D-Bus VMState
 =============
 
-Introduction
-============
-
 The QEMU dbus-vmstate object's aim is to migrate helpers' data running
 on a QEMU D-Bus bus. (refer to the :doc:`dbus` document for
 some recommendations on D-Bus usage)

 helpers by setting its ``id-list`` property, with a comma-separated
 ``Id`` list.
 
-Interface
-=========
-
-On object path ``/org/qemu/VMState1``, the following
-``org.qemu.VMState1`` interface should be implemented:
-
-.. code:: xml
-
-  <interface name="org.qemu.VMState1">
-    <property name="Id" type="s" access="read"/>
-    <method name="Load">
-      <arg type="ay" name="data" direction="in"/>
-    </method>
-    <method name="Save">
-      <arg type="ay" name="data" direction="out"/>
-    </method>
-  </interface>
-
-"Id" property
--------------
-
-A string that identifies the helper uniquely. (maximum 256 bytes
-including terminating NUL byte)
-
-.. note::
-
-   The helper ID namespace is a separate namespace. In particular, it is not
-   related to QEMU "id" used in -object/-device objects.
-
-Load(in u8[] bytes) method
---------------------------
-
-The method called on destination with the state to restore.
+.. only:: sphinx4
 
-The helper may be initially started in a waiting state (with
-an --incoming argument for example), and it may resume on success.
+   .. dbus-doc:: backends/dbus-vmstate1.xml
 
-An error may be returned to the caller.
+.. only:: not sphinx4
 
-Save(out u8[] bytes) method
----------------------------
+   .. warning::
+      Sphinx 4 is required to build D-Bus documentation.
 
-The method called on the source to get the current state to be
-migrated. The helper should continue to run normally.
+      This is the content of ``backends/dbus-vmstate1.xml``:
 
-An error may be returned to the caller.
+   .. literalinclude:: ../../backends/dbus-vmstate1.xml
