Detect qcow2 images with version 3 in the image header as VIR_STORAGE_FILE_QCOW2. These images have a feature bitfield, with just one feature supported so far: lazy_refcounts. The header length changed too, moving the location of the backing format name.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
