NAME
       zelta - Perform remote and recursive ZFS	operations

SYNOPSIS
		  zelta	SUBCOMMAND

DESCRIPTION
       zelta  simplifies  zfs  tasks  involving	 a datasets and	their children
       ("dataset trees") on local or remote systems.  Most  zelta  subcommands
       accept  a source	and target dataset or remote dataset endpoint accessi-
       ble via ssh(1).

       See the zfs(8) manual for more  information  about  dataset  names.   A
       source dataset may be pool name (a single element).

       Remote  dataset	endpoints are defined similar to the scp(1) command in
       the form	[user@]host:[dataset].

       A local dataset:

	      apool
	      apool/filesystem
	      apool/filesystem@snapshot
	      apool/filesystem/volume
	      apool/filesystem/volume#bookmark

       A remote	dataset	endpoint:

	      twin@example.com:apool
	      twin@example.com:apool/volume@snapshot
	      example.com:bpool/filesystem

SUBCOMMANDS
       Zelta's parameters attempt to follow ZFS	conventions whenever possible.

       zelta help

       zelta -?
	      Displays a help message.

       zelta -V, -version

       zelta version
	      Displays the Zelta suite version

   Comparison
       See zelta-match(8) for more details.

       zelta match
	      Describe the difference between dataset trees.

   Replication & Cloning
       Note that zelta is designed to be a safe	and efficient backup tool that
       overides	ZFS's destructive and obtrsive operations by default.  For de-
       tail see	zelta-backup(8)	or the Zelta Wiki <https://zelta.space/home>.

       zelta backup
	      Replicate	a dataset tree.	 By default run	extra commands to  de-
	      tect optimal zfs send options, snapshot if necessary, and	repli-
	      cate as many intermediate	datasets as possible.

       zelta sync
	      Replicate	a dataset tree.	 By default, assume an up-to-date ver-
	      sions of ZFS and replicate only the most recent snapshot.

       zelta clone
	      Clone and	mount a	dataset	tree.

   Policy-based	Replication
       zelta policy
	      Use  zelta.conf to replicate dataset trees using a configuration
	      file.

   Other Zelta Functions
       The following are additional Zelta utilities that are  used  internally
       and/or haven't been designed for	public use.

       zelta enpoint
	      Validate and split an endpoint definiton.

       zelta report
	      An example API reporter.

       zelta sendopts
	      Determine	compatible zfs send options between two	hosts.

       zelta snapshot
	      Create a recursive snapshot.

       zelta time
	      If  time(1)  is  unavailable,  Zelta  will use bash's POSIX time
	      function to time for precision reporting.
