Good day!  I am working on a robust backup script for RBD and ran into a
need to reliably determine start and end snapshots for differential exports
(done with rbd export-diff).

I can clearly see these if dumping the ASCII header of the export file,
e.g.:

iss@lab2-b1:/data/volume1$ strings
exp-tst1-spin1-sctst1-0111-174938-2016-cons-thin.scexp|head -3
rbd diff v1
auto-0111-083856-2016-tst1t
auto-0111-174856-2016-tst1s

It appears that "auto-0111-083856-2016-tst1" is the start snapshot
(followed by t) and "auto-0111-174856-2016-tst1" is the end snapshot
(followed by s).

Is this the best way to determine snapshots and are letters "s" and "t"
going to stay the same?

Best regards,
