86Renames the given dataset.
87The new target can be located anywhere in the ZFS hierarchy, with the exception
88of snapshots.
89Snapshots can only be renamed within the parent file system or volume.
90When renaming a snapshot, the parent file system of the snapshot does not need
91to be specified as part of the second argument.
92Renamed file systems can inherit new mount points, in which case they are
93unmounted and remounted at the new mount point.
94.Bl -tag -width "-a"
95.It Fl f
96Force unmount any file systems that need to be unmounted in the process.
97This flag has no effect if used together with the
98.Fl u
99flag.
100.It Fl p
101Creates all the nonexistent parent datasets.
102Datasets created in this manner are automatically mounted according to the
103.Sy mountpoint
104property inherited from their parent.
105.It Fl u
106Do not remount file systems during rename.
107If a file system's
108.Sy mountpoint
109property is set to
110.Sy legacy
111or
112.Sy none ,
113the file system is not unmounted even if this option is not given.
