The manual explanation is pretty clear (even mentions 'directory-type devices'), but IMO the examples are confusing. One example advises to use COPY_N to copy to SER without headers, while using COPY seems to have the same end effect. Another example uses COPY for NET and doesn't mention headers being lost (not 100% sure, but I don't think NET preserves them).
