Description

Inspect Btrfs internals from Python code or terminal-oriented helper scripts. It helps developers and storage administrators read filesystem structures that are normally hidden behind higher-level backup and file-management tools.

This is mainly useful when debugging Btrfs behavior, studying metadata, or building tools around snapshots, subvolumes, and allocation details. Because it deals with storage information, use it carefully on real systems and avoid changing anything without a verified backup.
