btrfs-receive(8)
================
NAME
----
btrfs-receive - receive subvolumes from stdin/file.
SYNOPSIS
--------
*btrfs receive* [-ve] [-f <infile>] <mount>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Receives one or more subvolumes that were previously
sent with *btrfs send*. The received subvolumes are stored
into <mount>.
*btrfs receive* will fail with the following case:
1. a receiving subvolume already exists.
2. a previously received subvolume was changed after it was received.
3. default subvolume is changed or you don't mount btrfs filesystem with
fs tree.
After receiving a subvolume, it is immediately set to read only.
`Options`
-v::
Enable verbose debug output. Each occurrence of this option increases the
verbose level more.
-f <infile>::
By default, btrfs receive uses stdin to receive the subvolumes.
Use this option to specify a file to use instead.
-e::
Terminate after receiving an <end cmd> in the data stream.
Without this option, the receiver terminates only if an error is recognized
or on EOF.
EXIT STATUS
-----------
*btrfs receive* returns a zero exist status if it succeeds. Non zero is
returned in case of failure.
AVAILABILITY
------------
*btrfs* is part of btrfs-progs.
