"btrfs inspect-internal rootid <path>" rejects a file to be specified in 
the implementation.
Therefore change "file or directory" to "directory" in the doc.

What about changing "<path>" to "<directory>"?

Thanks,

Is there a reason why a file should not be accepted? The ioctl supports
that just fine.

I thought ioctl would work for file, but current code checks whether 
<path> is directory or not in the first place. So, I change the doc.

If it is better to change the code rather than the doc, I will do that. 
What do you think?

There are helpers that can open either file or directory from a given
path, eg. open_file_or_dir3 so it can be used.
