Here's the documentation for CNVkit's formats: http://cnvkit.readthedocs.io/en/stable/fileformats.html#target-and-antitarget-bin-level-coverages-cnn
In a nutshell, these are just tabular formats with column headers that can be easily loaded in R or Python (pandas).
reference.cnnis the copy number control used for normalization of test samples..cnrmeans normalized copy ratios. These are processed test samples, already normalized to the reference..cnsmeans copy number segments. These are the result of segmenting.cnrfiles, essentially where bins with similar estimated copy number are joined together.
