+
+Returns a callback that captures the current async context and invokes a
+callback passed into it within the captured async context.
+
+```js
+const asyncLocalStorage = new AsyncLocalStorage();
+const runInAsyncScope = asyncLocalStorage.run(123, () => als.snapshot());
+const result = asyncLocalStorage.run(321, () => runInAsyncScope(() => asyncLocalStorage.getStore()));
+console.log(result);  // returns 123
+```
+
+AsyncLocalStorage.snapshot() can replace the use of AsyncResource for simple
+async context tracking purposes, for example:
+
+```js
+class Foo {
+  #runInAsyncScope = AsyncLocalStorage.snapshot();
+
+  get() { return this.#runInAsyncScope(() => asyncLocalStorage.getStore()); }
+}
+
+const foo = asyncLocalStorage.run(123, () => new Foo());
+console.log(asyncLocalStorage.run(321, () => foo.get())); // returns 123
