+Note that recursive cloning is also supported with the
+.Dv COPYFILE_CLONE
+flag (but not the
+.Dv COPYFILE_CLONE_FORCE
+flag). A recursive clone operation invokes
+.Fn copyfile
+with
+.Dv COPYFILE_CLONE
+on every entry found in the source file-system object. Because
+.Fn copyfile
+does not allow the cloning of directories, a recursive clone will
+instead copy any directory it finds (while cloning its contents).
+As symbolic links may point to directories, they are not followed
+during recursive clones even if the source is a symbolic link.
+Additionally, because the
+.Dv COPYFILE_CLONE
+flag implies the
+.Dv COPYFILE_EXCL
+flag, recursive clones require a nonexistent destination.
