qcow2

This crate can parse and read qcow2 virtual disks, as used by qemu and other emulators.

Qcow2 is a flexible format for disk images, that only allocates space as needed. It has many other interesting features.

Example

```rust extern crate positioned_io; extern crate qcow2;

use positioned_io::ReadAt; use qcow2::Qcow2;

// Open a qcow2 file. let file = try!(File::open("image.qcow2")); let qcow = try!(Qcow2::open(file));

// Read some data from the middle. let reader = try!(qcow.reader()); let mut buf = vec![0, 4096]; try!(reader.readexactat(5 * 1024 * 1024, &mut buf)); ```
