Function: org-copy-subtree

org-copy-subtree is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in org.el.gz.

Signature

(org-copy-subtree &optional N CUT FORCE-STORE-MARKERS NOSUBTREES)

Documentation

Copy the current subtree into the clipboard.

With prefix arg N, copy this many sequential subtrees. This is a short-hand for marking the subtree and then copying it. If CUT is non-nil, actually cut the subtree. If FORCE-STORE-MARKERS is non-nil, store the relative locations of some markers in the region, even if CUT is non-nil. This is useful if the caller implements cut-and-paste as copy-then-paste-then-cut.
