This allows to rewrite content of specified file(s) as-is without
modifications, but at a different location, compression, checksum,
dedup, copies and other parameter values. It is faster than read
plus write, since it does not require data copying to user-space.
It is also faster for sync=always datasets, since without data
modification it does not require ZIL writing. Also since it is
protected by normal range range locks, it can be done under any
other load. Also it does not affect file's modification time or
other properties.
