The command "sudo btrfs property list ${path-to-btrfs_object}" is used to display the properties of a specific Btrfs object or subvolume.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "sudo": It runs the command with administrative privileges, usually requiring the user to enter their password.
- "btrfs": This is the main command for managing Btrfs filesystems.
- "property": It specifies that we want to view the properties of a Btrfs object or subvolume.
- "list": It tells the command to list the properties.
- "${path-to-btrfs_object}": It is a placeholder representing the specific path to the Btrfs object or subvolume you want to inspect. You need to replace it with the actual path to the Btrfs object.
When you execute this command, it will provide you with a list of properties associated with the specified Btrfs object or subvolume. These properties may include information related to compression, space usage, quotas, and other characteristics specific to Btrfs.
