+NAME

+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'btrfs property' <subcommand> <args>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+'btrfs property' is used to get/set/list property, like lable or compression
+state, for given btrfs object.
+
+'btrfs property' provides an unified and user-friendly method to tune different
+btrfs properties instead of using the traditional method like `chattr`(1) or
+`lsattr`(1).
+
+SUBCOMMAND
+----------
+'get' [-t <type>] <object> [<name>]::
+Gets a property from a btrfs object.
++
+If no name is specified, all properties for the given object are
+printed.
+A filesystem object can be a the filesystem itself, a subvolume,
+an inode or a device.
++
+The '-t <type>' option can be used to explicitly
+specify what type of object you meant. This is only needed when a
+property could be set for more then one object type.
++
+Possible types are 's[ubvol]', 'f[ilesystem]', 'i[node]' and 'd[evice]'.
++
+The <object> can be path of btrfs device, btrfs mount point, or any
+directories/files inside btrfs.
+
+'set' [-t <type>] <object> <name> <value>::
+Sets a property on a btrfs object.
++
+See description of 'get' subcommand for a description of objects and object
+types.
+
+'list' [-t <type>] <object>::
+Lists available properties with their descriptions for the given object.
++
+Please see the help of 'btrfs property get' for a description of
+objects and object types.
