You need to spend some time on btrfs basics, specifically look at how
btrfs leaf looks like. How items and their data are layed out in a
leaf. Wiki has a n
Hi,
please keep this on the list, if somebody else is following.

Mohit,

Mohit, Nafisa,
you should start reading from "changed_cb" function, which is the one
that notifies the send code about a particular change that needs to be
addressed.
The lowest-level instruction generation happens in functions like
"send_rename", "send_link", "send_unlink", "send_truncate" etc.

Hi nafisa,
in order to understand how btrfs send code compares two btrfs file
trees, you may read this:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg17731.html (where I am
trying to understand it) and further down the thread. It's a very nice
algorithm, actually.
Thanks,
Alex.
