libqcow is a library to access the QEMU Copy-On-Write (QCOW) image file format. It supports read-only operations for QCOW versions 1, 2, and 3, with features including zlib (DEFLATE) compression, AES-CBC 128-bit encryption, and backing file (differential image). Currently in alpha status, the library is licensed under LGPLv3+ and has some unsupported features like LUKS encryption, data file, and in-image snapshots. The project is working towards thread-safety in file API functions.
