All Implemented Interfaces:

Operation

public final class Clone
extends BuiltInFunction

This function will clone the given element. In practice this will really only clone Resources because Properties are immutable and can be shared. Cloning of elements is usually done automatically by the compiler; users should rarely, if ever, need to call this explicitly.
