How do I create snapshot of blob?

Question

I am looking to implement blob storage for my logs and backups and have a question about blob snapshots. Mainly how can i setup a script in Linux(RHEL) to take snapshots every week or so. What i'm really having trouble is finding the command to snapshot the blob. I tried going through documentation but it's only c# api that i found nothing on how to do it using az cli or in bash.

You can use az storage blob snapshot to create a snapshot of a blob.

az storage blob snapshot --container-name
                         --name
                         [--account-key]
                         [--account-name]
                         [--auth-mode {key, login}]
                         [--connection-string]
                         [--if-match]
                         [--if-modified-since]
                         [--if-none-match]
                         [--if-unmodified-since]
                         [--lease-id]
                         [--metadata]
                         [--sas-token]
                         [--subscription]
                         [--timeout]
