+snapshot.sh - helper script for generating snapshot from lbcd's app dir.
+
+The default output name "lbcd_snapshot_<height>_<lbcd_ver>_<date>.tar.zst"
+
+To extract the snapshot (data/mainter/):
+
+    zstd -d lbcd_snapshot_<height>_<lbcd_ver>_<date>.tar.zst | tar xf - -C <appdir>
+
+Default appdir of lbcd on different OSes:
+
+        Darwin)  "\${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Lbcd"
+        Linux)   "\${HOME}/.lbcd"
+        Windows) "%%LOCALAPPDATA%%/lbcd"
+
+Options:
+
+    -h Display this message.
+    -d Specify APPDIR to copy the snapshot from.
+
+    -o Specify the output filename of snapshot.
+    -b Specify the best block height of the snapshot. (ignored if -o is specified)
+    -l Specify git tag of the running lbcd. (ignored if -o is specified)
+    -t Specify the date when the snapshot is generated. (ignored if -o is specified)
+EOM

+while getopts o:d:b:l:t:h flag
