    name
        Container name

    source
        File to be copied to the container

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

    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.

    makedirs : False

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

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

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