+.Nm
+.Cm import
+.Op Fl D
+.Op Fl d Ar dir Ns | Ns device
+.Xc
+Lists pools available to import.
+If the
+.Fl d
+option is not specified, this command searches for devices in
+.Pa /dev .
+The
+.Fl d
+option can be specified multiple times, and all directories are searched.
+If the device appears to be part of an exported pool, this command displays a
+summary of the pool with the name of the pool, a numeric identifier, as well as
+the vdev layout and current health of the device for each device or file.
+Destroyed pools, pools that were previously destroyed with the
+.Nm zpool Cm destroy
+command, are not listed unless the
+.Fl D
+option is specified.
+.Pp
+The numeric identifier is unique, and can be used instead of the pool name when
+multiple exported pools of the same name are available.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl c Ar cachefile
+Reads configuration from the given
+.Ar cachefile
+that was created with the
+.Sy cachefile
+pool property.
+This
+.Ar cachefile
+is used instead of searching for devices.
+.It Fl d Ar dir Ns | Ns Ar device
+Uses
+.Ar device
+or searches for devices or files in
+.Ar dir .
+The
+.Fl d
+option can be specified multiple times.
+.It Fl D
+Lists destroyed pools only.

+.Op Fl R Ar root
+.Op Fl s

+Imports all pools found in the search directories.
+Identical to the previous command, except that all pools with a sufficient
+number of devices available are imported.
+Destroyed pools, pools that were previously destroyed with the
+.Nm zpool Cm destroy
+command, will not be imported unless the
+.Fl D
+option is specified.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a
+Searches for and imports all pools found.
+.It Fl c Ar cachefile
+Reads configuration from the given
+.Ar cachefile
+that was created with the
+.Sy cachefile
+pool property.
+This
+.Ar cachefile
+is used instead of searching for devices.
+.It Fl d Ar dir Ns | Ns Ar device
+Uses
+.Ar device
+or searches for devices or files in
+.Ar dir .
+The
+.Fl d
+option can be specified multiple times.
+This option is incompatible with the
+.Fl c
+option.
+.It Fl D
+Imports destroyed pools only.
+The
+.Fl f
+option is also required.
+.It Fl f
+Forces import, even if the pool appears to be potentially active.
+.It Fl F
+Recovery mode for a non-importable pool.
+Attempt to return the pool to an importable state by discarding the last few
+transactions.
+Not all damaged pools can be recovered by using this option.
+If successful, the data from the discarded transactions is irretrievably lost.
+This option is ignored if the pool is importable or already imported.
+.It Fl l
+Indicates that this command will request encryption keys for all encrypted
+datasets it attempts to mount as it is bringing the pool online. Note that if
+any datasets have a
+.Sy keylocation
+of
+.Sy prompt
+this command will block waiting for the keys to be entered. Without this flag
+encrypted datasets will be left unavailable until the keys are loaded.
+.It Fl m
+Allows a pool to import when there is a missing log device.
+Recent transactions can be lost because the log device will be discarded.
+.It Fl n
+Used with the
+.Fl F
+recovery option.
+Determines whether a non-importable pool can be made importable again, but does
+not actually perform the pool recovery.
+For more details about pool recovery mode, see the
+.Fl F
+option, above.
+.It Fl N
+Import the pool without mounting any file systems.
+.It Fl o Ar mntopts
+Comma-separated list of mount options to use when mounting datasets within the
+pool.
+See
+.Xr zfs 8
+for a description of dataset properties and mount options.
+.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
+Sets the specified property on the imported pool.
+See the
+.Xr zpoolprops
+manual page for more information on the available pool properties.
+.It Fl R Ar root
+Sets the
+.Sy cachefile
+property to
+.Sy none
+and the
+.Sy altroot
+property to
+.Ar root .
+.It Fl -rewind-to-checkpoint
+Rewinds pool to the checkpointed state.
+Once the pool is imported with this flag there is no way to undo the rewind.
+All changes and data that were written after the checkpoint are lost!
+The only exception is when the
+.Sy readonly
+mounting option is enabled.
+In this case, the checkpointed state of the pool is opened and an
+administrator can see how the pool would look like if they were
+to fully rewind.
+.It Fl s
+Scan using the default search path, the libblkid cache will not be
+consulted. A custom search path may be specified by setting the
+ZPOOL_IMPORT_PATH environment variable.
+.It Fl X
+Used with the
+.Fl F
+recovery option. Determines whether extreme
+measures to find a valid txg should take place. This allows the pool to
+be rolled back to a txg which is no longer guaranteed to be consistent.
+Pools imported at an inconsistent txg may contain uncorrectable
+checksum errors. For more details about pool recovery mode, see the
+.Fl F
+option, above. WARNING: This option can be extremely hazardous to the
+health of your pool and should only be used as a last resort.
