It was never intended to be one, and never has been. It changes frequently, and in non-backwards compatible ways. That's why its use is highly discouraged by programs outside of the base system. The few that do use it (sysutils/py-iocage for example) typically break during an OS upgrade. libzfs_core, OTOH, _is_ a stable interface. It has a simple API, very simi= lar to what the zfs command line tools provide. And it's guaranteed to preserve backwards compatibility. FreeBSD 13+ include libzfs_core.h in /usr/include, and libzfs_core is final= ly mature enough that you can write useful applications with it. So I think t= his bug is finally resolved. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
