Reported by a wiki user, that there are formatting artifacts in the 'get' section: in html rendered as "The -t <em><type></em> option can be..." This is probably due to the nesting '' and <>. We don't need the <> in the explanation, as this is only to describe the command line syntax. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

----------
|
|
*get* [-t <type>] <object> [<name>]::

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

itself, a btrfs subvolume, an inode(file or directory) inside btrfs,
|
|
or a device on which a btrfs exists.

The option '-t' 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]'.

all properties for the given object are printed. 'name' is one of
