This is really heavyweight
No, it's not heavy at all - you've just misunderstood what it does.
When the above says "creates a file at destination", it's talking
about creating a new directory entry that points to the same data,
not about copying the data.
Again, with emphasis added, the documentation says
I read it just fine the first time, thank you.
, but that IS what the documentation says it does.
I'm not debating what words are used, I'm pointing out that you've
misunderstood them. If you think the misunderstanding is the result
of vague documentation, don't complain to me, just file a bug on the
docs.
