[--account-key]
[--account-name]
[--auth-mode {key, login}]
[--blob-endpoint]
[--connection-string]
[--lease-id]
[--sas-token]
[--timeout]Required Parameters
The copy operation to abort. This can be either an ID string, or an instance of BlobProperties.
Name of the destination blob. If it exists, it will be overwritten.
The container name.
Optional Parameters
Storage account key. Must be used in conjunction with storage account name or service endpoint. Environment variable: AZURE_STORAGE_KEY.
Storage account name. Related environment variable: AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT. Must be used in conjunction with either storage account key or a SAS token.

The mode in which to run the command. "login" mode will directly use your login credentials for the authentication. The legacy "key" mode will attempt to query for an account key if no authentication parameters for the account are provided. Environment variable: AZURE_STORAGE_AUTH_MODE.
Storage data service endpoint. Must be used in conjunction with either storage account key or a SAS token. You can find each service primary endpoint with az storage account show. Environment variable: AZURE_STORAGE_SERVICE_ENDPOINT.
Storage account connection string. Environment variable: AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING.
Required if the destination blob has an active infinite lease.
A Shared Access Signature (SAS). Must be used in conjunction with storage account name or service endpoint. Environment variable: AZURE_STORAGE_SAS_TOKEN.
Request timeout in seconds. Applies to each call to the service.

Defines the type of blob at the destination. Value of "Detect" determines the type based on source blob type.
An ETag value, or the wildcard character (*). Specify this header to perform the operation only if the resource's ETag matches the value specified.

If a date is passed in without timezone info, it is assumed to be UTC. Specify this conditional header to copy the blob only if the destination blob has been modified since the specified date/time. If the destination blob has not been modified, the Blob service returns status code 412 (Precondition Failed).
