DESCRIPTION

       Salt copy copies a local file out to all of the Salt minions matched by the given target.

OPTIONS

       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The  location  of  the  Salt  configuration  directory. This directory contains the
              configuration files for Salt master and  minions.  The  default  location  on  most
              systems is /etc/salt.

       -t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
              The  timeout  in  seconds  to  wait  for replies from the Salt minions. The timeout
              number specifies how long the command line client will wait to  query  the  minions
              and check on running jobs. Default: 5

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
              Console logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/master.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

   Target Selection
       -E, --pcre
              The  target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression rather than
              a shell glob.

       -L, --list
              The target expression will be  interpreted  as  a  comma-delimited  list;  example:
              server1.foo.bar,server2.foo.bar,example7.quo.qux

       -G, --grain
              The  target  expression  matches  values  returned by the Salt grains system on the
              minions.  The  target  expression  is  in  the  format  of   '<grain   value>:<glob
              expression>'; example: 'os:Arch*'

              This  was  changed  in  version 0.9.8 to accept glob expressions instead of regular
              expression. To use regular expression matching with grains,  use  the  --grain-pcre
              option.

       --grain-pcre
              The  target  expression  matches  values  returned by the Salt grains system on the
              minions. The target expression  is  in  the  format  of  '<grain  value>:<  regular
              expression>'; example: 'os:Arch.*'

       -N, --nodegroup
              Use a predefined compound target defined in the Salt master configuration file.

       -R, --range
              Instead  of  using  shell  globs  to evaluate the target, use a range expression to
              identify targets. Range expressions look like %cluster.

              Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up and the  location  of
              the range server is referenced in the master configuration file.
