Careful -- this isn't an API -- it's part of the implementation of ZFS,
and as a result it is subject to incompatible change at any time without
advanced warning.
In terms of our Interface Taxonomy, this is considered "Project
Private".
If you have specific requirements for a programmatic interface to ZFS,
let's hear them... it's not uncommon for Private interfaces to get put
through some renovation and housecleaning and then promoted to a public
interface, but it's best for the conversation to happen first...
(And I can't speak for the plans/intentions of the core zfs team on
this..)
