usage: tmpoverlay [OPTIONS] [SOURCE...] DEST

Create a tmpfs-backed overlayfs at DEST starting with SOURCEs. If no SOURCE is
specified, use DEST as the source. To free the memory, simply umount DEST.

options:
  -c, --no-canonicalize  don't canonicalize paths
  -h, --help             print this help
  -o, --overlayfs OPTS   add overlayfs mount options, e.g. redirect_dir/metacopy
  -n, --no-mtab          don't write to /etc/mtab
  -N, --mount-name NAME  source name for mount (default "overlay")
  -t, --tmpfs OPTS       add tmpfs mount options, e.g. size
  -v, --verbose          verbose mode

examples:
  tmpoverlay / /new_root       # make a thin copy of root
  tmpoverlay /etc              # make read-only /etc writable
  tmpoverlay /a /b /c /merged  # merge /a, /b, /c, and a fresh tmpfs
