NAME
     podman-machine-cp - Securely copy contents between the host and the virtual
     machine

SYNOPSIS
     podman machine cp [options] src_path dest_path

DESCRIPTION
     Use  secure copy (scp) to copy files or directories between the virtual ma-
     chine and your host machine.

     files and directories.

   --quiet, -q
     Suppress copy status output.
