# Go Wrapper for ZFS #
Simple wrappers for ZFS command line tools.
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/mistifyio/go-zfs)
## Requirements ##
You need a working ZFS setup. To use on Ubuntu 14.04, setup ZFS:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-zfs libzfs-dev
Developed using Go 1.3, but currently there isn't anything 1.3 specific. Don't use Ubuntu packages for Go, use http://golang.org/doc/install
Generally you need root privileges to use anything zfs related.
## Status ##
This has been only been tested on Ubuntu 14.04
In the future, we hope to work directly with libzfs.
# Hacking #
The tests have decent examples for most functions.
```go
//assuming a zpool named test
//error handling omitted
f, err := zfs.CreateFilesystem("test/snapshot-test", nil)
ok(t, err)
s, err := f.Snapshot("test", nil)
ok(t, err)
// snapshot is named "test/snapshot-test@test"
c, err := s.Clone("test/clone-test", nil)
err := c.Destroy()
err := s.Destroy()
err := f.Destroy()
```
