 ## Manual
 
 ### Authenticating with Azure Storage
 
-AzCopy requires the use of SAS tokens when copying data into/out of Azure Storage. Simply generate a SAS token/URI from the Azure Portal, Storage Explorer or one of the other Azure tools and append to the Blob path (container/virtual directory/blob path).

-### Simple command-line syntax
-
-    ./azcopy <command> <source path> <destination path>
-    ./azcopy cp /path/to/local  https://account.blob.core.windows.net/container?sastoken
-
-To see help menu for the available commands, run following commands:
-
-    ./azcopy cp
-    ./azcopy make
-    ./azcopy rm
-    ./azcopy sync
-    ./azcopy ls
-
-Each transfer operation will create a `Job` for AzCopy to act on. You can view history of jobs using the following command:
+### Getting started
 
-    ./azcopy jobs list
+AzCopy is self-documenting. To list the available commands, run:
+```
+./azcopy -h
+```
 
-You can also resume a failed/cancelled job using its identifier along with the SAS token.
+To view the help page and examples, run:
+```
+./azcopy <cmd> -h
+```
 
-    ./azcopy jobs resume <jobid> --source-sas ?sastokenhere
-
-Job database is located under ~/.azcopy directory on Linux, and %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\AzCopy on Windows. You can clear the database after AzCopy completes the transfer.
+### Simple command-line syntax
+```
+# The general syntax
+./azcopy <cmd> <arguments> --<flag-name>=<flag-value>
+ 
+ # Example:
+./azcopy cp <source path> <destination path> --<flag-name>=<flag-value>
+./azcopy cp "/path/to/local" "https://account.blob.core.windows.net/container?sastoken" --recursive=true

+
+Each transfer operation will create a `Job` for AzCopy to act on. You can view the history of jobs using the following command:
+```
+./azcopy jobs list
+```
+
+The job logs and data are located under the $HOME/.azcopy directory on Linux, and %USERPROFILE%\.azcopy on Windows. You can clear the job data/logs if you wish after AzCopy completes the transfers.
 
 ### Copy data to Azure storage
+The copy command can be used to transfer data from the source to the destination. The locat can be a:
+1. local path
+2. URL to Azure Blob/Virtual Directory/Container
+3. URL to Azure File/Directory/File Share
+```
+./azcopy <command> <source path> <destination path>
+```
 
 The following command will upload `1file.txt` to the Block Blob at `https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/1file.txt`.
-
-    ./azcopy cp /data/1file.txt "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/1file.txt?sastokenhere"
+```
+./azcopy cp /data/1file.txt "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/1file.txt?sastokenhere"
+```
 
 The following command will upload all files under `directory1` recursively to the path at `https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/directory1`.
-
-    ./azcopy cp /data/directory1 "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/directory1?sastokenhere" --recursive
+```
+./azcopy cp /data/directory1 "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/directory1?sastokenhere" --recursive=true
+```
 
 The following command will upload all files directly under `directory1` without recursing into sub-directories, to the path at `https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/directory1`.
+```
+./azcopy cp /data/directory1/* "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/directory1?sastokenhere"
+```
 
-    ./azcopy cp /data/directory1/* "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/directory1?sastokenhere"
-

-To upload into File storage, simply change the URI to Azure File URI with SAS token.

 ### Copy data from Azure to local file systems
 
 The following will download all Blob container contents into the local file system creating the directory `mycontainer` in the destination.
-
-    ./azcopy cp "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer?sastokenhere" /data/ --recursive
+```
+./azcopy cp "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer?sastokenhere" /data/ --recursive=true
+```
 
 The following will download all Blob container contents into the local file system. `mycontainer` directory will not be created in the destination because the globbing pattern looks for all paths inside `mycontainer` in the source rather than the `mycontainer` container itself.
-
-    ./azcopy cp "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/*?sastokenhere" /data/ --recursive
+```
+./azcopy cp "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/*?sastokenhere" /data/ --recursive=true
+```
 
 The following command will download all txt files in the source to the `directory1` path. Note that AzCopy will scan the entire source and filter for `.txt` files. This may take a while when you have thousands/millions of files in the source.
-
-    ./azcopy cp "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/mycontainer/directory1/*.txt?sastokenhere" /data/directory1

 ### Copy data between Azure Storage accounts (currently supports Block Blobs only)
 
 Copying data between two Azure Storage accounts make use of the PutBlockFromURL API, and does not use the client machine's network bandwidth. Data is copied between two Azure Storage servers. AzCopy simply orchestrates the copy operation.
-
-    ./azcopy cp "https://myaccount.blob.core.windows.net/?sastokenhere" "https://myotheraccount.blob.core.windows.net/?sastokenhere" --recursive
