Description
Documentation of os.copy_file_range
needs a few updates:
- Since Linux kernel 5.3 files pointed by
src
anddst
no longer must reside in the same filesystem according to the manual page. - There is a known issue for special filesystems like procfs and sysfs that should be noted.
- It should documented that the function may implicitly utilize reflinks and server-side copy.
This was requested in #93152 (comment).
