NAME
shtool-mkshadow - GNU shtool create shadow tree using symlinks
SYNOPSIS
shtool mkshadow [ -v | --verbose ] [ -t | --trace ] [ -a | --all ] src-dir dst-dir
DESCRIPTION
This command creates a shadow tree of src-dir under dst-dir by recreating the directory hierarchy of src-dir under dst-dir and by creating the files of src-dir by linking them into the corresponding directories under dst-dir via symbolic links. When src-dir can be reached via relative paths from dst-dir , relative symbolic links are used, too. This high-level functionality is originally designed for developers to create copies of source trees.

command line options are available.
-v
