constants, which allow to duplicate a file descriptor, the latter setting
``FD_CLOEXEC`` flag in addition.
+.. versionchanged:: 3.12
+ On Linux >= 4.5, the :mod:`fcntl` module exposes the ``FICLONE`` and
+ ``FICLONERANGE`` constants, which allow to share some data of one file with
+ another file by reflinking on some filesystems (e.g., btrfs, OCFS2, and
+ XFS). This behavior is commonly referred to as "copy-on-write".
+
The module defines the following functions:
--- /dev/null
+Expose ``FICLONE`` and ``FICLONERANGE`` constants in :mod:`fcntl`. Patch by
