§Lightweight file copy via BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE

Reflinks a byte range from one file to another: the destination gains an extent reference to the source’s data, no bytes are copied, and subsequent modifications are copy-on-write. Equivalent to the standard VFS FICLONERANGE ioctl (the btrfs and VFS encodings happen to share the same magic/number).

Functions§

clone_range
Reflink a range of bytes from src to dst.
