I notice that the Linux 4.5 kernel has added a copy_file_range syscall that is said to clone in some cases, but this isn't yet declared in the /usr/include headers on Fedora 24 (4.7.2 kernel). Also, its man page says it uses a size_t (not off_t) to count the number of bytes to be copied, which is a strange choice for a file-copying API. What's up with that?
