Hi all,

        I am in the process of learning QEMU Mechanism by doing a code review. I need to know the Virtual Image File and how does the Gust Os IO mechanisms are transfered in to the Host Os Image file . 

If anyone could point me the Source Code Portian which handles this part it would be really helpful for me to learn about the Images and Guest Os to Hos Os IO mechanisms...

Thanks in Advance

I think what you need to check is the block-*.c files e.g block-cow.c, 
block-qcow.c etc. raw block driver is inside block.c IIRC.

I hope I get your point correctly.

Anything that has IDE, SCSI, block or bdrv in its name would be a good start.
