//! Zero-copy I/O configuration constants.
//!
//! This module defines environment variables and default values for zero-copy
//! read operations, which use memory mapping (mmap) to avoid data copying.
// =============================================================================
// Zero-Copy Configuration
// =============================================================================
/// Environment variable for zero-copy read enable.
///
/// When enabled, uses mmap (Unix) or optimized reads for zero-copy data access.
/// This reduces memory copies from 3-4 to 1, lowering CPU usage by 20-30%
/// and improving P95 latency by 15-25%.
///
/// - Purpose: Enable or disable zero-copy read operations
/// - Acceptable values: `"true"` / `"false"` (case-insensitive) or a boolean typed config
/// - Semantics: When enabled, uses mmap on Unix systems for memory-mapped file reads;
/// falls back to regular I/O on non-Unix platforms or when mmap fails
/// - Example: `export RUSTFS_OBJECT_ZERO_COPY_ENABLE=true`
/// - Note: Zero-copy is safe for all workloads and provides significant performance
/// benefits with minimal risk. Disable only if mmap-related issues are encountered.

///
/// Zero-copy uses memory mapping (mmap) on Unix systems to avoid data copying
/// between kernel and user space. This provides:
/// - Reduced memory copies: from 3-4 copies to 1 copy
/// - Lower CPU usage: 20-30% reduction expected
/// - Improved latency P95: 15-25% reduction expected
/// - Increased throughput: 10-20% improvement expected
///
/// On non-Unix platforms or when mmap fails, the system automatically falls back
/// to regular I/O without errors.

/// This is only beneficial for specific workloads (databases, large sequential reads).
///
/// - Purpose: Enable or disable Direct I/O for large file operations
/// - Acceptable values: `"true"` / `"false"` (case-insensitive) or a boolean typed config
/// - Semantics: When enabled, files larger than the threshold will use O_DIRECT flag;
/// this bypasses the OS page cache and transfers data directly between disk and application
/// - Example: `export RUSTFS_OBJECT_DIRECT_IO_ENABLE=true`
/// - Note: Direct I/O is disabled by default because it's only beneficial for specific
/// use cases. For most workloads, the OS page cache provides better performance.

/// - Large file transfers (>128MB)
/// - Databases with their own cache
/// - Applications requiring predictable I/O latency

/// - Read-ahead caching
/// - Write buffering

///
/// Files smaller than this size will use regular I/O even if Direct I/O is enabled.

/// is more effective.
///
/// - Purpose: Set the minimum file size for Direct I/O operations
/// - Unit: Bytes
/// - Valid values: any positive integer (default: 134,217,728 bytes = 128 MB)
/// - Semantics: Only files larger than this threshold will use Direct I/O when enabled;
/// smaller files use regular buffered I/O
/// - Example: `export RUSTFS_OBJECT_DIRECT_IO_THRESHOLD=268435456`
/// - Note: The default threshold of 128MB balances the overhead of Direct I/O setup
/// against the benefits of bypassing the page cache for large files.
