            Begins a raw binary COPY operation (TO STDOUT or FROM STDIN), a high-performance data export/import mechanism to a PostgreSQL table.
            Note that unlike the other COPY API methods, <see cref="M:Npgsql.NpgsqlConnection.BeginRawBinaryCopy(System.String)"/> doesn't implement any encoding/decoding
            and is unsuitable for structured import/export operation. It is useful mainly for exporting a table as an opaque
            blob, for the purpose of importing it back later.
