Btrfs devel - Feb 2010 - [PATCH 2/2 V2] btrfs, a new tool to manage a btrfs filesystem; man page

This is the source code of the man page of btrfs.
The main changes from my previous patch are:
- Rearranged the short command in order to avoid conflicts
- Renamed the ''create'' verb is ''subvolume''

Thanks to Daniel for some tweaks on the syntax

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B btrfs
+is used to control the filesystem and the files and directories stored. It is
+the tool to create or destroy a new snapshot or a new subvolume for the
+filesystem, to defrag a file or a directory, to flush the dato to the disk,
+to resize the filesystem, to scan the device.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+
+\fBsnapshot|\-s\fR\fI <source> [<dest>/]<name>\fR
+Create a writeble snapshot of the subvolume \fI<source>\fR with the name
+\fI<name>\fR in the \fI<dest>\fR directory. If \fI<source>\fR
is not a
+subvolume, \fBbtrfs\fR returns an error.
+.TP
+
+\fBdelete|\-D\fR\fI <subvolume>\fR
+Delete the subvolume \fI<subvolume>\fR. If \fI<subvolume>\fR is not
a
+subvolume, \fBbtrfs\fR returns an error.
+.TP
+
+\fBsubvolume|\-c\fR\fI [<dest>/]<name>\fR
+Create a subvolume in \fI<dest>\fR (or in the current directory if
+\fI<dest>\fR is not passed).
+.TP
+
+\fBdefrag|\-f\fP\fI <file>|<dir> [<file>|<dir>...]\fR
+Defragment files and/or directories.
+.TP
+
+\fBscan|\-n\fR \fI[<device> [<device>..]]\fR
+Scan devices for a btrfs filesystem. If no devices are passed, \fBbtrfs\fR 
scans
+all the block devices.
+.TP
+
+\fBfssync|\-y\fR\fI <path> \fR
+Force a sync for the filesystem identified by \fI<path>\fR.
+.TP
+
+.\"
+.\" Some wording are extracted by the resize2fs man page
+.\"
+
+\fBresize|\-z\fR\fI [+/\-]<size>[gkm]|max <filesystem>\fR
+Resize a file system identified by \fI<path>\fR.
+The \fI<size>\fR parameter specifies the new size of the filesystem.
+If the prefix \fI+\fR or \fI\-\fR is present the size is increased or 
decreased
+by the quantity \fI<size>\fR.
+If no units are specified, the unit of the \fI<size>\fR parameter is the 
byte.
+Optionally, the size parameter may be suffixed by one of the following the 
units
+designators: ''K'', ''M'', or
''G'', kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes,
respectively.
+
+If ''max'' is passed, the filesystem will occupy all available
space on the
+volume(s).
+
+The \fBresize\fR command \fBdoes not\fR manipulate the size of underlying
+partitions.  If you wish to enlarge/reduce a filesystem, you must make sure 
you
+can expand/reduce the size of the partition also.
+.TP
+
+\fBshow|\-l\fR [<dev>|<label>...]\fR
+Show the btrfs devices with some additional info. If no devices or labels are
+passed, \fBbtrfs\fR scans all the block devices.
+.TP
+
+\fBbalance|\-b\fR \fI<path>\fR
+Balance the chunk of the filesystem identified by \fI<path>\fR
+across the devices.
+.TP
+
+\fBadd\-dev|\-A \fR\fI <dev> [<dev>..] <path>\fR
+Add device(s) to the filesystem identified by \fI<path>\fR.
+.TP
+
+\fBrm\-dev|\-R \fR\fI <dev> [<dev>..] <path>\fR
+Remove device(s) to the filesystem identified by \fI<path>\fR.
+.PP
+
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+\fBbtrf\fR returns a zero exist status if it succeeds. Non zero is returned 
in
+case of failure.
+
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+.B btrfs
+is part of btrfs-progs. Btrfs filesystem is currently under heavy 
development,
+and not suitable for any uses other than benchmarking and review.
+Please refer to the btrfs wiki http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org for
+further details.
