[CI:DOCS] podman cp: highlight globbing and multi-file copy
`podman cp` does not allow for globbing or filtering copied data in any
form. `docker cp` does not either, so Podman remains compatible. Due
to a number of requests, highlight how users can effectively achieve
that by means of chaining with tools such as xargs(1) or find(1), or by
making use of `podman mount`.

Note that `podman cp` ignores permission errors when copying from a running rootless container. The TTY devices inside a rootless container are owned by the host's root user and hence cannot be read inside the container's user namespace. +Further note that `podman cp` does not support globbing (e.g., `cp dir/*.txt`). If you want to copy multiple files from the host to the container you may use xargs(1) or find(1) (or similar tools for chaining commands) in conjunction with `podman cp`. If you want to copy multiple files from the container to the host, you may use `podman mount CONTAINER` and operate on the returned mount point instead (see ALTERNATIVES below). + ## OPTIONS #### **--archive**, **-a**=**true** | *false* |
