Python wrapper around the reflink system calls.
Note: Python is implementing this natively upstream, cfr. https://bugs.python.org/issue37157.

Features

Btrfs, XFS, OCFS2 reflink support. Btrfs is tested the most.
Apple macOS APFS clonefile support. Little testing, be careful. It might eat data.
A convenience method that checks support for reflinks within a specific directory.

This library is available on pypi_::

pip install reflink

To use Python reflink in a project::

from reflink import reflink
# Reflink copy 'large_file.img' to 'copy_of_file.img'
reflink("large_file.img", "copy_of_file.img")
