David Sterba bc2c60ad31 btrfs-progs: docs: start ioctl documentation manual page
Start documenting the ioctl interface to btrfs. The overall structure
should be settled, the formatting of the ioctl description may change in
the future, newly added ioctl descriptions should follow the examples of
BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE.

The document is not finished yet and will not be installed until most of
ioctls' details are filled in.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
--------------------
BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: obsoleted by BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE_V2
_(since: 3.0, obsoleted: 4.0)_ Create a subvolume.
ioctl fd:: file descriptor of the parent directory of the new subvolume
argument:: struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args
fd:: ignored
name:: name of the subvolume, although the buffer can be almost 4k, the file
size is limited by linux VFS to 255 characters and must not contain a slash
('/')
BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE_V2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: obsoletes BTRFS_IOC_SUBVOL_CREATE
_(since: 3.6)_ Create a subvolume, qgroup inheritance can be specified.
ioctl fd:: file descriptor of the parent directory of the new subvolume
argument:: struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args_v2
fd:: ignored
transid:: ignored
flags:: ignored
size:: ...
qgroup_inherit:: ...
name:: name of the subvolume, although the buffer can be almost 4k, the file
size is limited by linux VFS to 255 characters and must not contain a slash
('/')
devid:: ...
