61 Destroys the given dataset.
62 By default, the command unshares any file systems that are currently shared,
63 unmounts any file systems that are currently mounted, and refuses to destroy a
64 dataset that has active dependents
65 .Pq children or clones .
68 Recursively destroy all dependents, including cloned file systems outside the
71 Forcibly unmount file systems.
72 This option has no effect on non-file systems or unmounted file systems.
77 No data will be deleted.
78 This is useful in conjunction with the
82 flags to determine what data would be deleted.
84 Print machine-parsable verbose information about the deleted data.
86 Recursively destroy all children.
88 Print verbose information about the deleted data.
91 Extreme care should be taken when applying either the
95 options, as they can destroy large portions of a pool and cause unexpected
96 behavior for mounted file systems in use.

104 The given snapshots are destroyed immediately if and only if the
108 option would have destroyed it.
109 Such immediate destruction would occur, for example, if the snapshot had no
110 clones and the user-initiated reference count were zero.
112 If a snapshot does not qualify for immediate destruction, it is marked for
114 In this state, it exists as a usable, visible snapshot until both of the
115 preconditions listed above are met, at which point it is destroyed.
117 An inclusive range of snapshots may be specified by separating the first and
118 last snapshots with a percent sign.
119 The first and/or last snapshots may be left blank, in which case the
120 filesystem's oldest or newest snapshot will be implied.

138 flag will have no effect.
141 If a snapshot cannot be destroyed now, mark it for deferred destruction.
146 No data will be deleted.
