   ([#1079](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1079))
 - Implemented `Clone`, `Copy`, `Debug`, `Eq`, `Hash`, and `PartialEq` for most
   types that support them. ([#1035](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1035))
+- Added `copy_file_range` wrapper
+  ([#1069](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1069))
 
 ### Changed
 - Support for `ifaddrs` now present when building for Android.

+/// Copy a range of data from one file to another
+///
+/// The `copy_file_range` system call performs an in-kernel copy between
+/// file descriptors `fd_in` and `fd_out` without the additional cost of
+/// transferring data from the kernel to user space and then back into the
+/// kernel. It copies up to `len` bytes of data from file descriptor `fd_in` to
+/// file descriptor `fd_out`, overwriting any data that exists within the
+/// requested range of the target file.
+///
+/// If the `off_in` and/or `off_out` arguments are used, the values
+/// will be mutated to reflect the new position within the file after
+/// copying. If they are not used, the relevant filedescriptors will be seeked
+/// to the new position.
+///
+/// On successful completion the number of bytes actually copied will be
+/// returned.
