btrfs-property: Get all properties for the given btrfs object.
$ sudo btrfs property get ${path-to-btrfs_object}
try on your machine

The command "sudo btrfs property get ${path-to-btrfs_object}" is used to retrieve the value of a specific property for a given Btrfs object in a Linux system. Here's how it works:

  • "sudo" is a command that allows the user to execute a certain command with administrative privileges. It is often used to run commands as the "root" user or another superuser.

  • "btrfs" is the command-line utility for managing and interacting with Btrfs file systems, which is a modern and scalable filesystem in Linux.

  • "property get" is an option provided by the "btrfs" command-line utility. It allows you to retrieve the value of a specific property for a Btrfs object.

  • "${path-to-btrfs_object}" is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the Btrfs object for which you want to retrieve the property value. This could be a directory, file, or other Btrfs-specific object.

By running this command with the appropriate Btrfs object path, you can view the value of a specific property assigned to that object. The output will show the property name and its corresponding value.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
