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).

.Xc
Renames the given dataset.
The new target can be located anywhere in the ZFS hierarchy, with the exception
of snapshots.
Snapshots can only be renamed within the parent file system or volume.
When renaming a snapshot, the parent file system of the snapshot does not need
to be specified as part of the second argument.
Renamed file systems can inherit new mount points, in which case they are
unmounted and remounted at the new mount point.
.Bl -tag -width "-a"
.It Fl f
Force unmount any filesystems that need to be unmounted in the process.
.It Fl p
Creates all the nonexistent parent datasets.
Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the
.Sy mountpoint
property inherited from their parent.
.El
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm rename
.Fl r
.Ar snapshot Ar snapshot
.Xc
Recursively rename the snapshots of all descendent datasets.
Snapshots are the only dataset that can be renamed recursively.
