A btrfs object, which is set by <object>, can be a btrfs filesystem
|

The '-t <type>' option can be used to explicitly
|
|
|
|
|
specify what type of object you meant. This is only needed when a
|
|
|
|
|
property could be set for more then one object type.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
Possible types are 's[ubvol]', 'f[ilesystem]', 'i[node]' and 'd[evice]'.

Set the name of property by '<name>'. If no '<name>' is specified,
|
|
|
|
|
all properties for the given object are printed. '<name>' is one of
|
|
|
|
|
the followings.
