    .. versionchanged:: 2015.8.0
        Function renamed from ``lxc.cp`` to ``lxc.copy_to`` for consistency
        with other container types. ``lxc.cp`` will continue to work, however.
        For versions 2015.2.x and earlier, use ``lxc.cp``.

    Copy a file or directory from the host into a container

    name
        Container name

    source
        File to be copied to the container

    path
        path to the container parent
        default: /var/lib/lxc (system default)

        .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0

    dest
        Destination on the container. Must be an absolute path.

        .. versionchanged:: 2015.5.0
            If the destination is a directory, the file will be copied into
            that directory.

    overwrite : False
        Unless this option is set to ``True``, then if a file exists at the
        location specified by the ``dest`` argument, an error will be raised.

        .. versionadded:: 2015.8.0

    makedirs : False

        Create the parent directory on the container if it does not already
        exist.

        .. versionadded:: 2015.5.0

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt 'minion' lxc.copy_to /tmp/foo /root/foo
