      "--copy-props all: `--copy-props` applies only to S3-to-S3 copies. `all` copies annotations plus tags and properties covered by `default` (content type, content language, content encoding, content disposition, cache control, expires, and metadata). Set it for the requested preservation.",

      "Prerequisite: AWS CLI must be installed and configured to use the documented examples.",
