+ * \h DESCRIPTION
+ * \Bbtrfs\b is used to control the filesystem and the files and directories
+ * stored. It is the tool to create or destroy a snapshot or a subvolume for
+ * the filesystem, to defrag a file or a directory, flush the data to the disk,
+ * to resize the filesystem, to scan the device.
+ *
+ * It is possible to abbreviate the commands unless the commands are ambiguous.
+ * For example: it is possible to run
+ * \Ibtrfs sub snaps\i instead of \Ibtrfs subvolume snapshot\i. But \Ibtrfs
+ * file s\i is not allowed, because \Ifile s\i may be interpreted both as
+ * \Ifilesystem show\i and as \Ifilesystem sync\i.
+ *
+ * If a command is terminated by \I--help\i, the detailed help is showed.
+ * If the passed command matches more commands, detailed help of all the
+ * matched commands is showed. For example \Ibtrfs dev --help\i shows the
+ * help of all \Idevice*\i commands.

+ * \h BALANCE FILTERS
+ *
+ * With balance filters, it is possible to perform a balance operation on
+ * only a subset of the available chunks. Filters are specified with the
+ * \B--filter\b option of \Bbtrfs filesystem balance\b or \Bbtrfs
+ * balance start\b. Multiple filters may be given, either with multiple
+ * \B--filter\b options, or in a colon-separated list. When multiple
+ * filters are given, only the chunks meeting all of the selection
+ * critera are balanced. Help on the avaialble filters can be obtained
+ * with \B--filter=help\b.
+ *
+ *
+ * \Btype\b=[\B~\b]\I<flagname>\i[\B,\b...]
+ *
+ * Select only the chunks with the given type flag(s). Requiring a flag
+ * to be off can be specified with a \B~\b preceding the flag
+ * name. Flag names are:
+ *
+ * \Bmeta\b, \Bdata\b, \Bsys\b for metadata, file data and system
+ * chunk types.
+ *
+ * \Braid0\b, \Braid1\b, \Braid10\b, \Bdup\b for chunks of the
+ * given replication levels.
+ *
+ *
+ * \Bdevid\b=\I<n>\i
+ *
+ * Select chunks which have data on device ID \I<n>\i. This can be
+ * used, for example, to reduplicate data in a mirrored configuration
+ * where one drive has been lost due to hardware failure.
+ *
+ *
+ * \Bvrange\b=\I<start>\i,\I<end>\i
+ *
+ * Select chunks which have btrfs-internal virtual addresses within the
+ * range \I<start>\i (inclusive) to \I<end>\i (exclusive). Given the
+ * address of the last chunk moved, this filter can be used to restart a
+ * cancelled or interrupted balance operation, by supplying a range of
+ * \I0,<chunkaddr+1>\i.
+ *
+ * \Bdrange\b=\I<start>\i,\I<end>\i
+ *
+ * Select chunks which contain data in the address range \I<start>\i
+ * (inclusive) to \I<end>\i (exclusive) on \Iany\i block device in
+ * the filesystem. Can be mixed with the \Bdevid\b filter to select
+ * chunks in a given address range on a specific device.
+ *
+ * \h EXIT STATUS
+ * \Bbtrfs\b returns a zero exist status if it succeeds. Non zero is returned in
+ * case of failure.
+ *
+ * \h AVAILABILITY
+ * \Bbtrfs\b 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.
