+/// Copy a range of data from one file to another
+///
+/// The `copy_file_range` system call performs an in-kernel copy between
+/// file descriptor `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 completion the number of bytes actually copied will be returned.
