The general format of the commands is: 'azcopy [command] [arguments] --[flag-name]=[flag-value]'.

Options

      --await-continue continue             Used when debugging, to tell AzCopy to await continue on stdin before starting any work. 
                                             Assists with debugging AzCopy via attach-to-process
      --await-open open                     Used when debugging, to tell AzCopy to await open on stdin, after scanning but before opening the first file. 
                                             Assists with testing cases around file modifications between scanning and usage
      --cap-mbps float                      Caps the transfer rate, in megabits per second. 
                                             Moment-by-moment throughput might vary slightly from the cap.
                                             If this option is set to zero, or it is omitted, the throughput isn't capped.
      --debug-skip-files string             Used when debugging, to tell AzCopy to cancel the job midway.
                                             List of relative paths to skip in the STE.
  -h, --help                                help for azcopy
      --log-level string                    Define the log verbosity for the log file, 
                                             available levels: DEBUG(detailed trace), INFO(all requests/responses), WARNING(slow responses),
                                             ERROR(only failed requests), and NONE(no output logs). (default 'INFO'). (default "INFO")
      --output-level string                 Define the output verbosity. Available levels: essential, quiet. (default "default")
      --output-type string                  Format of the command's output. The choices include: text, json. 
                                             The default value is 'text'. (default "text")
      --skip-version-check                  Do not perform the version check at startup. 
                                            Intended for automation scenarios & airgapped use.
      --trusted-microsoft-suffixes string   
                                            Specifies additional domain suffixes where Azure Active Directory login tokens may be sent.  
                                            The default is '*.core.windows.net;*.core.chinacloudapi.cn;*.core.cloudapi.de;*.core.usgovcloudapi.net;*.storage.azure.net'. 
                                             Any listed here are added to the default. For security, you should only put Microsoft Azure domains here. 
                                             Separate multiple entries with semi-colons.
