Raw Normal View History

Reorganize zfs(8) man page into sections Most subcommands got their own manpages (e.g. create). Some related commands grouped into a single manpage and symlinks created (e.g. set, get, and inherit). I did this when topics were either too short to warrant their own file or so interrelated that a user would want to refer between commands in the same file. Corrected .Sx internal references to .Xr cross refs; lots of .Sx references from when text was all in zfs.8 needed to be changed to .Xr zfs-$SUBCOMMAND 8 cross references. Divided subcommand list in zfs(8) into sections of related functionality. This required writing new descriptions for some commands. Preserved ".Os Linux", `.Os` macro parsing behavior differs between mandoc from the "BSD" mandoc package (available on Ubuntu) and man from Ubuntu's man-db package, which calls groff to format the manpages. Groff handles the `.Os` macro differently and wrongly, defaulting it to "BSD" in `/usr/share/groff/*/tmac/mdoc/doc-common`, instead of getting the default from `uname`. A future set of changes will introduce build-time preprocessing of manpages for platform-specific documentation and can insert the correct operating system name. Added SEE ALSO sections, the newly-divided zfs-*.8 subcommand man pages needed their own SEE ALSO sections pointing to related subcommands and, in some cases, documentation from other packages (e.g. zfs-share.8).

.Dt ZFS-DESTROY 8
.Os Linux
.Sh NAME
.Nm zfs Ns Pf - Cm destroy
.Nd Destroys the given dataset(s), snapshot(s), or bookmark.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Cm destroy
.Op Fl Rfnprv
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume
.Nm
.Cm destroy
.Op Fl Rdnprv
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume Ns @ Ns Ar snap Ns
.Oo % Ns Ar snap Ns Oo , Ns Ar snap Ns Oo % Ns Ar snap Oc Oc Oc Ns ...
.Nm
.Cm destroy
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume Ns # Ns Ar bookmark
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Bl -tag -width ""
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm destroy
.Op Fl Rfnprv
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume
.Xc
Destroys the given dataset.
By default, the command unshares any file systems that are currently shared,
unmounts any file systems that are currently mounted, and refuses to destroy a
dataset that has active dependents
.Pq children or clones .
.Bl -tag -width "-R"
.It Fl R
Recursively destroy all dependents, including cloned file systems outside the
target hierarchy.
.It Fl f
Force an unmount of any file systems using the
.Nm unmount Fl f
command.
This option has no effect on non-file systems or unmounted file systems.
.It Fl n
Do a dry-run
.Pq Qq No-op
deletion.
No data will be deleted.
This is useful in conjunction with the
.Fl v
or
.Fl p
flags to determine what data would be deleted.
.It Fl p
Print machine-parsable verbose information about the deleted data.
.It Fl r
Recursively destroy all children.
.It Fl v
Print verbose information about the deleted data.
.El
.Pp
Extreme care should be taken when applying either the
.Fl r
or the
.Fl R
options, as they can destroy large portions of a pool and cause unexpected
behavior for mounted file systems in use.
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm destroy
.Op Fl Rdnprv
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume Ns @ Ns Ar snap Ns
.Oo % Ns Ar snap Ns Oo , Ns Ar snap Ns Oo % Ns Ar snap Oc Oc Oc Ns ...
.Xc
The given snapshots are destroyed immediately if and only if the
.Ql zfs destroy
command without the
.Fl d
option would have destroyed it.
Such immediate destruction would occur, for example, if the snapshot had no
clones and the user-initiated reference count were zero.
.Pp
If a snapshot does not qualify for immediate destruction, it is marked for
deferred deletion.
In this state, it exists as a usable, visible snapshot until both of the
preconditions listed above are met, at which point it is destroyed.
.Pp
An inclusive range of snapshots may be specified by separating the first and
last snapshots with a percent sign.
The first and/or last snapshots may be left blank, in which case the
filesystem's oldest or newest snapshot will be implied.
.Pp
Multiple snapshots
.Pq or ranges of snapshots
of the same filesystem or volume may be specified in a comma-separated list of
snapshots.
Only the snapshot's short name
.Po the part after the
.Sy @
.Pc
should be specified when using a range or comma-separated list to identify
multiple snapshots.
.Bl -tag -width "-R"
.It Fl R
Recursively destroy all clones of these snapshots, including the clones,
snapshots, and children.
If this flag is specified, the
.Fl d
flag will have no effect.
.It Fl d
Destroy immediately. If a snapshot cannot be destroyed now, mark it for
deferred destruction.
.It Fl n
Do a dry-run
.Pq Qq No-op
deletion.
No data will be deleted.
This is useful in conjunction with the
.Fl p
or
.Fl v
flags to determine what data would be deleted.
.It Fl p
Print machine-parsable verbose information about the deleted data.
.It Fl r
Destroy
.Pq or mark for deferred deletion
all snapshots with this name in descendent file systems.
.It Fl v
Print verbose information about the deleted data.
.Pp
Extreme care should be taken when applying either the
.Fl r
or the
.Fl R
options, as they can destroy large portions of a pool and cause unexpected
behavior for mounted file systems in use.
.El
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm destroy
.Ar filesystem Ns | Ns Ar volume Ns # Ns Ar bookmark
.Xc
The given bookmark is destroyed.
