//! This module contains specializations that can offload `io::copy()` operations on file descriptor
//! containing types (`File`, `TcpStream`, etc.) to more efficient syscalls than `read(2)` and `write(2)`.
//!
//! Specialization is only applied to wholly std-owned types so that user code can't observe
//! that the `Read` and `Write` traits are not used.
//!
//! Since a copy operation involves a reader and writer side where each can consist of different types
//! and also involve generic wrappers (e.g. `Take`, `BufReader`) it is not practical to specialize
//! a single method on all possible combinations.
//!
//! Instead readers and writers are handled separately by the `CopyRead` and `CopyWrite` specialization
//! traits and then specialized on by the `Copier::copy` method.
//!
//! `Copier` uses the specialization traits to unpack the underlying file descriptors and
//! additional prerequisites and constraints imposed by the wrapper types.
//!
//! Once it has obtained all necessary pieces and brought any wrapper types into a state where they
//! can be safely bypassed it will attempt to use the `copy_file_range(2)`,
//! `sendfile(2)` or `splice(2)` syscalls to move data directly between file descriptors.
//! Since those syscalls have requirements that cannot be fully checked in advance and
//! gathering additional information about file descriptors would require additional syscalls
//! anyway it simply attempts to use them one after another (guided by inaccurate hints) to
//! figure out which one works and falls back to the generic read-write copy loop if none of them
//! does.
//! Once a working syscall is found for a pair of file descriptors it will be called in a loop
//! until the copy operation is completed.
//!
//! Advantages of using these syscalls:
//!
//! * fewer context switches since reads and writes are coalesced into a single syscall
//! and more bytes are transferred per syscall. This translates to higher throughput
//! and fewer CPU cycles, at least for sufficiently large transfers to amortize the initial probing.
//! * `copy_file_range` creates reflink copies on CoW filesystems, thus moving less data and
//! consuming less disk space
//! * `sendfile` and `splice` can perform zero-copy IO under some circumstances while
//! a naive copy loop would move every byte through the CPU.
//!
//! Drawbacks:
//!
//! * copy operations smaller than the default buffer size can under some circumstances, especially
//! on older kernels, incur more syscalls than the naive approach would. As mentioned above
//! the syscall selection is guided by hints to minimize this possibility but they are not perfect.
//! * optimizations only apply to std types. If a user adds a custom wrapper type, e.g. to report
//! progress, they can hit a performance cliff.
//! * complexity
