Reorganize zfs(8) man page into sections
Most subcommands got their own manpages (e.g. create). Some related commands grouped into a single manpage and symlinks created (e.g. set, get, and inherit). I did this when topics were either too short to warrant their own file or so interrelated that a user would want to refer between commands in the same file. Corrected .Sx internal references to .Xr cross refs; lots of .Sx references from when text was all in zfs.8 needed to be changed to .Xr zfs-$SUBCOMMAND 8 cross references. Divided subcommand list in zfs(8) into sections of related functionality. This required writing new descriptions for some commands. Preserved ".Os Linux", `.Os` macro parsing behavior differs between mandoc from the "BSD" mandoc package (available on Ubuntu) and man from Ubuntu's man-db package, which calls groff to format the manpages. Groff handles the `.Os` macro differently and wrongly, defaulting it to "BSD" in `/usr/share/groff/*/tmac/mdoc/doc-common`, instead of getting the default from `uname`. A future set of changes will introduce build-time preprocessing of manpages for platform-specific documentation and can insert the correct operating system name. Added SEE ALSO sections, the newly-divided zfs-*.8 subcommand man pages needed their own SEE ALSO sections pointing to related subcommands and, in some cases, documentation from other packages (e.g. zfs-share.8).

+.Xc
+Creates a snapshot whose contents are as specified in the stream provided on
+standard input.
+If a full stream is received, then a new file system is created as well.
+Streams are created using the
+.Nm zfs Cm send
+subcommand, which by default creates a full stream.
+.Nm zfs Cm recv
+can be used as an alias for
+.Nm zfs Cm receive.
+.Pp
+If an incremental stream is received, then the destination file system must
+already exist, and its most recent snapshot must match the incremental stream's
+source.
+For
+.Sy zvols ,
+the destination device link is destroyed and recreated, which means the
+.Sy zvol
+cannot be accessed during the
+.Cm receive
+operation.
+.Pp
+When a snapshot replication package stream that is generated by using the
+.Nm zfs Cm send Fl R
+command is received, any snapshots that do not exist on the sending location are
+destroyed by using the
+.Nm zfs Cm destroy Fl d
+command.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fl o Em property Ns = Ns Ar value
+or
+.Fl x Em property
+is specified, it applies to the effective value of the property throughout
+the entire subtree of replicated datasets. Effective property values will be
+set (
+.Fl o
+) or inherited (
+.Fl x
+) on the topmost in the replicated subtree. In descendant datasets, if the
+property is set by the send stream, it will be overridden by forcing the
+property to be inherited from the top‐most file system. Received properties
+are retained in spite of being overridden and may be restored with
+.Nm zfs Cm inherit Fl S .
+Specifying
+.Fl o Sy origin Ns = Ns Em snapshot
+is a special case because, even if
+.Sy origin
+is a read-only property and cannot be set, it's allowed to receive the send
+stream as a clone of the given snapshot.
+.Pp
+Raw encrypted send streams (created with
+.Nm zfs Cm send Fl w
+) may only be received as is, and cannot be re-encrypted, decrypted, or
+recompressed by the receive process. Unencrypted streams can be received as
+encrypted datasets, either through inheritance or by specifying encryption
+parameters with the
+.Fl o
+options. Note that the
+.Sy keylocation
+property cannot be overridden to
+.Sy prompt
+during a receive. This is because the receive process itself is already using
+stdin for the send stream. Instead, the property can be overridden after the
+receive completes.
+.Pp
+The added security provided by raw sends adds some restrictions to the send
+and receive process. ZFS will not allow a mix of raw receives and non-raw
+receives. Specifically, any raw incremental receives that are attempted after
+a non-raw receive will fail. Non-raw receives do not have this restriction and,
+therefore, are always possible. Because of this, it is best practice to always
+use either raw sends for their security benefits or non-raw sends for their
+flexibility when working with encrypted datasets, but not a combination.
+.Pp
+The reason for this restriction stems from the inherent restrictions of the
+AEAD ciphers that ZFS uses to encrypt data. When using ZFS native encryption,
+each block of data is encrypted against a randomly generated number known as
+the "initialization vector" (IV), which is stored in the filesystem metadata.
+This number is required by the encryption algorithms whenever the data is to
+be decrypted. Together, all of the IVs provided for all of the blocks in a
+given snapshot are collectively called an "IV set". When ZFS performs a raw
+send, the IV set is transferred from the source to the destination in the send
+stream. When ZFS performs a non-raw send, the data is decrypted by the source
+system and re-encrypted by the destination system, creating a snapshot with
+effectively the same data, but a different IV set. In order for decryption to
+work after a raw send, ZFS must ensure that the IV set used on both the source
+and destination side match. When an incremental raw receive is performed on
+top of an existing snapshot, ZFS will check to confirm that the "from"
+snapshot on both the source and destination were using the same IV set,
+ensuring the new IV set is consistent.
+.Pp
+The name of the snapshot
+.Pq and file system, if a full stream is received
+that this subcommand creates depends on the argument type and the use of the
+.Fl d
+or
+.Fl e
+options.
+.Pp
+If the argument is a snapshot name, the specified
+.Ar snapshot
+is created.
+If the argument is a file system or volume name, a snapshot with the same name
+as the sent snapshot is created within the specified
+.Ar filesystem
+or
+.Ar volume .
+If neither of the
+.Fl d
+or
+.Fl e
+options are specified, the provided target snapshot name is used exactly as
+provided.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl d
+and
+.Fl e
+options cause the file system name of the target snapshot to be determined by
+appending a portion of the sent snapshot's name to the specified target
+.Ar filesystem .
+If the
+.Fl d
+option is specified, all but the first element of the sent snapshot's file
+system path
+.Pq usually the pool name
+is used and any required intermediate file systems within the specified one are
+created.
+If the
+.Fl e
+option is specified, then only the last element of the sent snapshot's file
+system name
+.Pq i.e. the name of the source file system itself
+is used as the target file system name.
+.Bl -tag -width "-F"
+.It Fl F
+Force a rollback of the file system to the most recent snapshot before
+performing the receive operation.
+If receiving an incremental replication stream
+.Po for example, one generated by
+.Nm zfs Cm send Fl R Op Fl i Ns | Ns Fl I
+.Pc ,
+destroy snapshots and file systems that do not exist on the sending side.
+.It Fl d
+Discard the first element of the sent snapshot's file system name, using the
+remaining elements to determine the name of the target file system for the new
+snapshot as described in the paragraph above.
+.It Fl e
+Discard all but the last element of the sent snapshot's file system name, using
+that element to determine the name of the target file system for the new
+snapshot as described in the paragraph above.
+.It Fl h
+Skip the receive of holds. There is no effect if holds are not sent.
+.It Fl n
+Do not actually receive the stream.
+This can be useful in conjunction with the
+.Fl v
+option to verify the name the receive operation would use.
+.It Fl o Sy origin Ns = Ns Ar snapshot
+Forces the stream to be received as a clone of the given snapshot.
+If the stream is a full send stream, this will create the filesystem
+described by the stream as a clone of the specified snapshot.
+Which snapshot was specified will not affect the success or failure of the
+receive, as long as the snapshot does exist.
+If the stream is an incremental send stream, all the normal verification will be
+performed.
+.It Fl o Em property Ns = Ns Ar value
+Sets the specified property as if the command
+.Nm zfs Cm set Em property Ns = Ns Ar value
+was invoked immediately before the receive. When receiving a stream from
+.Nm zfs Cm send Fl R ,
+causes the property to be inherited by all descendant datasets, as through
+.Nm zfs Cm inherit Em property
+was run on any descendant datasets that have this property set on the
+sending system.
+.Pp
+Any editable property can be set at receive time. Set-once properties bound
+to the received data, such as
+.Sy normalization
+and
+.Sy casesensitivity ,
+cannot be set at receive time even when the datasets are newly created by
+.Nm zfs Cm receive .
+Additionally both settable properties
+.Sy version
+and
+.Sy volsize
+cannot be set at receive time.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl o
+option may be specified multiple times, for different properties. An error
+results if the same property is specified in multiple
+.Fl o
+or
+.Fl x
+options.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl o
+option may also be used to override encryption properties upon initial
+receive. This allows unencrypted streams to be received as encrypted datasets.
+To cause the received dataset (or root dataset of a recursive stream) to be
+received as an encryption root, specify encryption properties in the same
+manner as is required for
+.Nm
+.Cm create .
+For instance:
+.Bd -literal
+# zfs send tank/test@snap1 | zfs recv -o encryption=on -o keyformat=passphrase -o keylocation=file:///path/to/keyfile
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Note that
+.Op Fl o Ar keylocation Ns = Ns Ar prompt
+may not be specified here, since stdin is already being utilized for the send
+stream. Once the receive has completed, you can use
+.Nm
+.Cm set
+to change this setting after the fact. Similarly, you can receive a dataset as
+an encrypted child by specifying
+.Op Fl x Ar encryption
+to force the property to be inherited. Overriding encryption properties (except
+for
+.Sy keylocation Ns )
+is not possible with raw send streams.
+.It Fl s
+If the receive is interrupted, save the partially received state, rather
+than deleting it.
+Interruption may be due to premature termination of the stream
+.Po e.g. due to network failure or failure of the remote system
+if the stream is being read over a network connection
+.Pc ,
+a checksum error in the stream, termination of the
+.Nm zfs Cm receive
+process, or unclean shutdown of the system.
+.Pp
+The receive can be resumed with a stream generated by
+.Nm zfs Cm send Fl t Ar token ,
+where the
+.Ar token
+is the value of the
+.Sy receive_resume_token
+property of the filesystem or volume which is received into.
+.Pp
+To use this flag, the storage pool must have the
+.Sy extensible_dataset
+feature enabled.
+See
+.Xr zpool-features 5
+for details on ZFS feature flags.
+.It Fl u
+File system that is associated with the received stream is not mounted.
+.It Fl v
+Print verbose information about the stream and the time required to perform the
+receive operation.
+.It Fl x Em property
+Ensures that the effective value of the specified property after the
+receive is unaffected by the value of that property in the send stream (if any),
+as if the property had been excluded from the send stream.
+.Pp
+If the specified property is not present in the send stream, this option does
+nothing.
+.Pp
+If a received property needs to be overridden, the effective value will be
+set or inherited, depending on whether the property is inheritable or not.
+.Pp
+In the case of an incremental update,
+.Fl x
+leaves any existing local setting or explicit inheritance unchanged.
+.Pp
+All
+.Fl o
+restrictions (e.g. set-once) apply equally to
+.Fl x .
