.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fC/etc/grub.d/41_snapshots\-btrfs [\-V, \-\-version]\fP

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Improves grub by adding “btrfs snapshots” to the grub menu.

.PP
You can boot your system on a “snapshot” from the grub menu.
Supports manual snapshots, snapper and timeshift.
Features of grub-btrfs:
.IP \(em 4
Automatically list snapshots existing on root partition (btrfs).
.IP \(em 4
Automatically detect if /boot is in separate partition.
.IP \(em 4
Automatically detect kernel, initramfs and intel/amd microcode in /boot directory on snapshots.
.IP \(em 4
Automatically create corresponding “menuentry” in grub.cfg
.IP \(em 4
Automatically detect the type/tags and descriptions/comments of snapper/timeshift snapshots.
.IP \(em 4
Automatically generate grub.cfg if you use the provided systemd service.

.SH "CONFIGURATION"

.TH "grub-btrfsd" "8"

.SH "NAME"
.PP
grub-btrfsd - An OpenRC daemon to automatically update the grub menu with
.BR grub-btrfs (8)
.PP
when a new btrfs snapshot is created.

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fCgrub\-btrfsd [\-h, \-\-help] [\-c, \-\-no\-color] [\-l, \-\-log\-file LOG_FILE] [\-r, \-\-recursive] [\-s, \-\-syslog] [\-t, \-\-timeshift\-auto] [\-o, \-\-timeshift\-old] [\-v, \-\-verbose] SNAPSHOTS_DIRS\fP

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Grub-btrfsd is a shell script which is meant to be run as a daemon.
Grub-btrfsd watches a directory where btrfs-snapshots are created or deleted via inotifywait and runs grub-mkconfig (if grub-mkconfig never ran before since grub-btrfs was installed) or \fC/etc/grub.d/41_snapshots\-btrfs\fP (when grub-mkconfig ran before with grub-btrfs installed) when something in that directory changes.

.SH "OPTIONS"
.SS "\fCSNAPSHOTS_DIRS\fP"
.PP
This argument specifies the (space separated) paths where grub-btrfsd looks for newly created snapshots and snapshot deletions. It is usually defined by the program used to make snapshots.
E.g. for Snapper this would be \fC/.snapshots\fP. It is possible to define more than one directory here, all directories will inherit the same settings (recursive etc.).
This argument is not necessary to provide if \fC\-\-timeshift\-auto\fP is set.

.SS "\fC\-c / \-\-no\-color\fP"
.PP
Disable colors in output.

.SS "\fC\-l / \-\-log\-file\fP"
.PP
This arguments specifies a file where grub-btrfsd should write log messages.

.SS "\fC\-r / \-\-recursive\fP"
.PP
Watch snapshot directory recursively

.SS "\fC\-s / \-\-syslog\fP"
.PP
Write to syslog

.SS "\fC\-t / \-\-timeshift\-auto\fP"
.PP
This is a flag to activate the auto detection of the path where Timeshift stores snapshots. Newer versions (>=22.06) of Timeshift mount their snapshots to \fC/run/timeshift/$PID/backup/timeshift\-btrfs\fP. Where \fC$PID\fP is the process ID of the currently running Timeshift session. The PID is changing every time Timeshift is opened. grub-btrfsd can automatically take care of the detection of the correct PID and directory if this flag is set. In this case the argument \fCSNAPSHOTS_DIRS\fP has no effect.

.SS "\fC\-o / \-\-timeshift\-old\fP"
.PP
Look for snapshots in \fC/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift\-btrfs\fP instead of \fC/run/timeshift/$PID/backup/timeshift\-btrfs\fP. This is to be used for Timeshift versions <22.06.

.SS "\fC\-v / \-\-verbose\fP"
.PP
Let the log of the daemon be more verbose

.SS "\fC\-h / \-\-help\fP"
.PP
Displays a short help message.

.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.PP
The daemon is usually configured via the file \fC/etc/conf.d/grub\-btrfsd\fP on openrc-init systems and \fCsudo systemctl edit \-\-full grub\-btrfsd\fP on systemd systems. In this file the arguments (See OPTIONS), that OpenRC passes to the daemon when it is started, can be configured.

.SS "NOTES"
.PP
A common configuration for Snapper would be to set \fCSNAPSHOTS_DIR\fP to \fC/.snapshots\fP and not to set \fC\-\-timeshift\-auto\fP.
For Timeshift \fC\-\-timeshift\-auto\fP is set to true and \fCSNAPSHOTS_DIR\fP can be left as is.
