117/// This function transfers up to `len` bytes of data from the file descriptor
118/// `fd_in` to the file descriptor `fd_out`, where one of the file descriptors
119/// must refer to a pipe.
120///
121/// `off_*` must be `None` if the corresponding fd refers to a pipe. Otherwise

123/// read/written. On success, the number of bytes read/written is added to the
124/// offset.
125///
126/// Passing `None` causes the read/write to start from the file offset, and the
127/// file offset is adjusted appropriately.

146/// `vmsplice(fd, bufs, flags)`—Transfer data between memory and a pipe.

148/// If `fd` is the write end of the pipe, the function maps the memory pointer
149/// at by `bufs` to the pipe.
150///
151/// If `fd` is the read end of the pipe, the function writes data from the pipe
152/// to said memory.
153///
154/// # Safety
155///
156/// If the memory must not be mutated (such as when `bufs` were originally
157/// immutable slices), it is up to the caller to ensure that the write end of
158/// the pipe is placed in `fd`.
159///
160/// Additionally if `SpliceFlags::GIFT` is set, the caller must also ensure
161/// that the contents of `bufs` in never modified following the call, and that
162/// all of the pointers in `bufs` are page aligned, and the lengths are
163/// multiples of a page size in bytes.
