+//Upstream options:
+//The options --collapse-range, --dig-holes, --punch-hole and --zero-range
+//are mutually exclusive.
+//-c, --collapse-range
+//    Removes a byte range from a file, without leaving a hole. The byte range
+//    to be collapsed starts at offset and continues for length bytes.
+//    At the completion of the operation, the contents of the file starting
+//    at the location offset+length will be appended at the location offset,
+//    and the file will be length bytes smaller. The option --keep-size may
+//    not be specified for the collapse-range operation.
+//-d, --dig-holes
+//    Detect and dig holes. This makes the file sparse in-place, without using
+//    extra disk space. The minimum size of the hole depends on filesystem I/O
+//    block size (usually 4096 bytes). Also,
+//-l, --length length
+//    Specifies the length of the range, in bytes.
+//-n, --keep-size
+//    Do not modify the apparent length of the file. This may effectively
+//    allocate blocks past EOF, which can be removed with a truncate.
+//-o, --offset offset
+//    Specifies the beginning offset of the range, in bytes.
+//-p, --punch-hole
+//    Deallocates space (i.e., creates a hole) in the byte range starting
+//    at offset and continuing for length bytes. Within the specified range,
+//    partial filesystem blocks are zeroed, and whole
+//    filesystem blocks are removed from the file. After a successful call,
+//    subsequent reads from this range will return zeroes. This option may not
+//    be specified at the same time as the
+//    --zero-range option. Also, when using this option, --keep-size is implied.
+//-z, --zero-range
+//    Zeroes space in the byte range starting at offset and continuing for
+//    length bytes. Within the specified range, blocks are preallocated for
+//    the regions that span the holes in the file. After
+//    a successful call, subsequent reads from this range will return zeroes.
+//    Zeroing is done within the filesystem preferably by converting the range
+//    into unwritten extents. This approach means that the specified range
+//    will not be physically zeroed out on the device (except for partial
+//    blocks at the either end of the range), and I/O is (otherwise) required
+//    only to update metadata.
+//    Option --keep-size can be specified to prevent file length modification.
