In general, it is better if the client controls the filename, and not
qemu.  This is because things like libvirt like to run qemu in a
highly-constrained environment, where the caller can pass in a file
descriptor that qemu cannot itself open().  So returning a filename is
pointless if the filename was already provided by the caller.
