Ross Williams 870fc32fc9 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-ROLLBACK 8
.Os Linux
.Sh NAME
.Nm zfs Ns Pf - Cm rollback
.Nd Roll back the given dataset to a previous snapshot.
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Cm rollback
.Op Fl Rfr
.Ar snapshot
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Bl -tag -width ""
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm rollback
.Op Fl Rfr
.Ar snapshot
.Xc
When a dataset is rolled back, all data that has changed since the snapshot is
discarded, and the dataset reverts to the state at the time of the snapshot.
By default, the command refuses to roll back to a snapshot other than the most
recent one.
In order to do so, all intermediate snapshots and bookmarks must be destroyed by
specifying the
.Fl r
option.
.Pp
The
.Fl rR
options do not recursively destroy the child snapshots of a recursive snapshot.
Only direct snapshots of the specified filesystem are destroyed by either of
these options.
To completely roll back a recursive snapshot, you must rollback the individual
child snapshots.
.Bl -tag -width "-R"
.It Fl R
Destroy any more recent snapshots and bookmarks, as well as any clones of those
snapshots.
.It Fl f
Used with the
.Fl R
option to force an unmount of any clone file systems that are to be destroyed.
.It Fl r
Destroy any snapshots and bookmarks more recent than the one specified.
