🌸 NAME 🌸

leil-makesnapshot — make lazy copies ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

leil makesnapshot [-o] [-f] SOURCE... DESTINATION

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay bestie, so makesnapshot makes a “real” snapshot — a lazy copy, like in case of appendchunks — of some object(s) or subtree (similarly to the cp -r command). It’s atomic with respect to each SOURCE argument separately 🫶

If DESTINATION points to an already existing file, an error will be reported unless the -f (force) option or its alias -o (overwrite) option is given. No cap, that’s the whole vibe check 💅

The flags doing the work here are:

• -f — force; gives you the “don’t error just because DESTINATION already exists” behavior.
• -o — overwrite; it’s the alias of -f, same existing-destination situation.

📌 Note 📌

If SOURCE is a directory, it’s copied as a whole; but if it’s followed by a trailing slash, only the directory content is copied. Literally such a tiny slash with so much main character energy 😭✨
