NAME

     zfs-snapshot — create snapshots of ZFS datasets

SYNOPSIS

     zfs snapshot [-r] [-o property=value]… dataset@snapname…

DESCRIPTION

     All previous modifications by successful system calls to the file system are part of the
     snapshots.  Snapshots are taken atomically, so that all snapshots correspond to the same
     moment in time.  zfs snap can be used as an alias for zfs snapshot.  See the Snapshots
     section of zfsconcepts(7) for details.

     -o property=value
         Set the specified property; see zfs create for details.

     -r  Recursively create snapshots of all descendent datasets
