+20. KVMI_VCPU_CONTROL_SINGLESTEP
+--------------------------------
+
+:Architectures: x86 (vmx)
+:Versions: >= 1
+:Parameters:
+
+::
+
+	struct kvmi_vcpu_control_singlestep {
+		__u8 enable;
+		__u8 padding[7];
+	};
+
+:Returns:
+
+::
+
+	struct kvmi_error_code
+
+Enables/disables singlestep.
+
+The introspection tool can use *KVMI_GET_VERSION*, to check
+if the hardware supports singlestep (see **KVMI_GET_VERSION**).
+
+:Errors:
+
+* -KVM_EOPNOTSUPP - the hardware doesn't support it
+* -KVM_EINVAL - padding is not zero
+* -KVM_EAGAIN - the selected vCPU can't be introspected yet
