== NAME

saunafs-makesnapshot - make lazy copies

== SYNOPSIS

[verse]
*saunafs makesnapshot* [*-o*] [*-f*] 'SOURCE'... 'DESTINATION'

== DESCRIPTION

*makesnapshot* makes a "real" snapshot (lazy copy, like in case of
*appendchunks*) of some object(s) or subtree (similarly to *cp -r* command).
It's atomic with respect to each 'SOURCE' argument separately. If 'DESTINATION'
points to already existing file, error will be reported unless *-f* (force) or
it's alias *-o* (overwrite) option is given.

NOTE: if 'SOURCE' is a directory, it's copied as a whole; but if it's followed
by trailing slash, only directory content is copied.
