+               With growing number of snapshots file-systems need some mechanism
+               to differentiate one set of snapshots from other, e.g. monthly, weekly,
+               manual, special events, etc. Therefore these file-systems provide different
+               ways to tag snapshots, e.g. provide a configurable way to name snapshots,
+               which is not just based on time.  With only <command>shadow:format</command>
+               it is very difficult to filter these snapshots. With this optional parameter,
+               one can specify a variable prefix component for names of the snapshot
+               directories in the file-system. If this parameter is set, together with the
+               <command>shadow:format</command> and <command>shadow:delimiter</command>
+               parameters it determines the possible names of snapshot
+               directories in the file-system. The option only supports Basic
+               Regular Expression (BRE).
