qcow is a file format for disk image files used by QEMU, a hosted virtual machine monitor. [1] It stands for "QEMU Copy On Write" and uses a disk storage optimization strategy that delays allocation of storage until it is actually needed.
QEMU integrates several services to allow the host and guest systems to communicate for example: an integrated SMB server and network-port redirection (to allow incoming connections to the virtual machine). It can also boot Linux kernels without a bootloader. QEMU does not depend on the presence of graphical output methods on the host system.
After being put into "sixel mode" the following data was interpreted to directly control six of the pins in the nine-pin print head. A string of sixel characters encodes a single 6-pixel high row of the image. The system was later re-used as a way to send bitmap data to the VT200 series and VT320 terminals when defining custom character sets. A ...
An easier way to get an up-to-date filesystem image is to use QEMU to install Linux and "convert" the image by stripping off the first 63 512-byte blocks as described in the coLinux wiki.
The raw IMG file format is used by several tools: RaWrite and WinImage use the IMG disk image format to read and write floppy disk images. ImDisk and Virtual Floppy Drive can mount a raw image of a floppy disk to emulate a floppy drive under Microsoft Windows. Nero Burning ROM supports reading IMG files for creating bootable CDs.

The command line Linux application ccd2iso is available to convert ISO9660-compliant CCD/IMG files to an ISO image. The GNU Project's ccd2cue can convert a CCD file to a cue sheet. [3] The CUE/BIN and MDS/MDF formats have a similar structure to the CCD/IMG format, containing both a raw disc image along with a descriptor file. [4]
