NAME
----
btrfs - control a btrfs filesystem

SYNOPSIS
--------
*btrfs* <command> [<args>]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The *btrfs* utility is a toolbox for managing btrfs filesystems.  There are
command groups to work with subvolumes, devices, for whole filesystem or other
specific actions. See section *COMMANDS*.

COMMAND SYTNAX
--------------

Any command name can be shortened as far as it stays unambiguous,
however it is recommended to use full command names in scripts.
All command groups have their manual page named *btrfs-<group>*.

For example: it is possible to run *btrfs sub snaps* instead of
*btrfs subvolume snapshot*.
But *btrfs file s* is not allowed, because *file s* may be interpreted
both as *filesystem show* and as *filesystem sync*.

If the command name is ambiguous, the list of conflicting options is
printed.

For an overview of a given command use 'btrfs command --help'
or 'btrfs [command...] --help --full' to print all available options.
