+# DESCRIPTION:
+#	'zfs clone' should fail with inapplicable scenarios, including:
+#		* Null arguments
+#		* non-existant snapshots.
+#		* invalid characters in ZFS namesapec
+#		* Leading slash in the target clone name
+#		* The argument contains an empty component.
+#		* The pool specified in the target doesn't exist.
+#		* The parent dataset of the target doesn't exist.
+#		* The argument refer to a pool, not dataset.
+#		* The target clone already exists.
+#		* Null target clone argument.
+#		* Too many arguments.
+#
+# STRATEGY:
+#	1. Create an array of parameters
+#	2. For each parameter in the array, execute the sub-command
+#	3. Verify an error is returned.
