- Display usage instructions with `snapsh -h` or `snapsh --help`
- Taking snapshots requires root priviledges. Take a snapshot with `snapsh -s SUBVOLUME` or `snapsh --snapshot SUBVOLUME`, where `SUBVOLUME` is the name of the source subvolume. You can add a description for the snapshot with the `-d | --description` option (must be used before the `-s` option)
Example with Fedora default btrfs layout with `root` and `home` subvolumes:
`snapsh -d "This is a snapshot" -s root`
This will create a snapshot called `root_snapshot_YYYY.MM.DD-hh:mm:ss` to the `snapshots` subvolume (or the one you defined with `SNAPSHOTS_LOCATION`), with a description "This is a snapshot"
- Snapshots can be listed with `snapsh -l` or `snapsh --list`
+- Delete snapshots with the `-r` or `--remove` option. List snapshots first with `snapsh -l`, then delete snapshot with e.g. `snapsh -r 2`, where 2 is the number of the deletable snapshot in the `-l` listing. The list numbers always start from 1 and increment from there, so always check the number before deletion. Batch deletion might be implemented later.
