+/*
+ * FALLOC_FL_UNSHARE_RANGE is used to unshare shared blocks within the
+ * file size without overwriting any existing data. The purpose of this
+ * call is to preemptively reallocate any blocks that are subject to
+ * copy-on-write.
+ *
+ * Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the
+ * granularity of the operation. Most will limit operations to filesystem
+ * block size boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or smaller
+ * depending on the filesystem and/or the configuration of the filesystem
+ * or file.
+ *
+ * This flag can only be used with allocate-mode fallocate, which is
+ * to say that it cannot be used with the punch, zero, collapse, or
+ * insert range modes.
