NAME
----
btrfs - control a btrfs filesystem
SYNOPSIS
--------
*btrfs* <command> [<args>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
*btrfs* is used to control the filesystem and the files and directories stored.
It is the tool to create or destroy a snapshot or a subvolume for the
filesystem, to defrag a file or a directory, flush the data to the disk,
to resize the filesystem, to scan the device.
It is possible to abbreviate the commands unless the commands are ambiguous.
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 a command is terminated by '--help', the detailed help is showed.
If the passed command matches more commands,
detailed help of all the matched commands is showed. For example
*btrfs dev --help* shows the help of all *device** commands.
