Operational mode
Use this command to copy the configuration (/config) directory from one image to another. By default, the source image is the currently running image.
This command is equivalent to the copy file running://config/ to dest-image-name://config/ command.
Command completion displays all valid system images. It is not possible to clone the directory to the running image or the disk-installation image.
