+// file to the destination file. This asks the filesystem to share the
+// contents between the files using a copy-on-write method.
+//
+// Reflinks are the fastest way to copy large files, but have a few limitations:
+//
+//   - Requires using a supported filesystem (btrfs, xfs, apfs)
+//   - Source and destination must be on the same filesystem.
+//
+// See: https://btrfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Reflink.html
+//
+// -------------------- PLATFORM SPECIFIC INFORMATION --------------------
+//
+// Linux implementation uses the `ficlone` ioctl:
+// https://manpages.debian.org/testing/manpages-dev/ioctl_ficlone.2.en.html
+//
+// Support:
+//   - BTRFS or XFS filesystem
+//
+// Considerations:
+//   - Ownership is not preserved.
+//   - Setuid and Setgid are not preserved.
+//   - Times are not preserved.
