I would like to to concatenate N files into one big file taking advantage of 
ZFS copy-on-write semantics so that the file concatenation is done without 
actually copying any (large amount of) file content.
  cat f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 > f15
Is this already possible when source and target are on the same ZFS filesystem?

Am looking into the ZFS source code to understand if there are sufficient 
(private) interfaces to make a simple "zcat -o f15   f1 f2 f3 f4 f5" userland 
application in C code. Does anybody have advice on this?

TIA
