- file-clone
Provides a description of the file cloning mechanism.
- file-clone-create
Creates a new file, and makes its data stream a clone of the source file’s data stream.
- file-clone-stat
Displays information about a clone object; specifically, the handles of the snapshot file objects on which the clone object depends.
- file-clone-report-block-sharing
Reports on the amount of block sharing between a clone and each of its predecessor snapshot file objects.
- file-clone-declone
Removes the dependency of a cloned file from its snapshot object, converting the clone into a normal file.
- file-clone-stat-snapshot-file
Displays information about a snapshot file object based on the file handle or object number of the snapshot file object.
