BTRFS-RECEIVE(8) Btrfs Manual BTRFS-RECEIVE(8)NAMEbtrfs-receive - receive subvolumes from stdin/file.
SYNOPSIS
btrfs receive [-ve] [-f <infile>] <mount>
DESCRIPTION
Receives one or more subvolumes that were previously sent with btrfs
send. The received subvolumes are stored into <mount>.
btrfs receive will fail with the following case:
1. a receiving subvolume already exists.
2. a previously received subvolume was changed after it was received.
3. default subvolume is changed or you don’t mount btrfs filesystem
with fs tree.
After receiving a subvolume, it is immediately set to read only.
Options
-v
Enable verbose debug output. Each occurrence of this option
increases the verbose level more.
-f <infile>
By default, btrfs receive uses stdin to receive the subvolumes. Use
this option to specify a file to use instead.
-e
Terminate after receiving an <end cmd> in the data stream. Without
this option, the receiver terminates only if an error is recognized
or on EOF.
EXIT STATUS
btrfs receive returns a zero exist status if it succeeds. Non zero is
returned in case of failure.
