The (unique) ID of the VM.
`<newid>` `integer (1 - N)` ::
VMID for the clone.

The clone feature is experimental, set this flag if you know what you are
doing.
`-full` `boolean` (default=`0`)::
Create a full copy of all disk. This is always done when you clone a normal
CT. For CT templates, we try to create a linked clone by default.

Add the new CT to the specified pool.
`-snapname` `string` ::
The name of the snapshot.
