DESCRIPTION
===========
**qq2clone** is a tool working on top of virsh that makes creating
clones of template QEMU/KVM machines simple. By using the copy on write
feature for which qcow2 is named, clones of an existing virtual machine
can be made without inadvertently altering the original image (with
caveats - read the **LIMITATIONS** section if you aren’t already
familiar with how copy on write works). **qq2clone** makes creating and
managing these clones simple and efficient.
