/// Copy data from `Read` implementor `source` into a `Write` implementor
/// `dest`. This works by reading a chunk of data from `source` and writing the
/// data to `dest` in a loop, using std::io::copy. This is implemented for
/// non-Linux platforms.
///
/// # Arguments
/// * `source` - `Read` implementor to copy data from.
/// * `dest` - `Write` implementor to copy data to.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// Result of operation and bytes successfully written (as a `u64`) when
/// operation is successful.
