CLI for snapshots

[greg]

Greetings
I've recently moved from proxmox 3 to 5 and I'm trying to use it fully.
I'm using zfs and lxc and I'd like to automate the snapshoting: I want to mimic going to the GUI and clicking "Take snapshot".
I can go directly, that is, do a zfs snapshot and alter the .conf file, but is there a cleaner way to do that in cli ?

Thanks in advance

# pct snapshot <vmid> <snapname>

see "man pct" for details and options

Thanks! I looked in the man page but didn't find it, probably I was not paying enough attention.
