Btrfs is a copy on write file system based on B-trees focusing on fault tolerance, repair and easy
administration. Btrfs is intended to address the lack of pooling, snapshots, checksums, and
integral multi-device spanning in Linux file systems.
Given any pair of subvolumes (or snapshots), Btrfs can generate a binary diff between them by
using the btrfs send command that can be replayed later by using btrfs receive, possibly on a
different Btrfs file system. The btrfs send command creates a set of data modifications required
for converting one subvolume into another.
This spec can be used to disassemble the binary diff created by the btrfs send command.
If you want a text representation you may want to checkout btrfs receive --dump instead.
This page hosts a formal specification of btrfs_stream using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for JavaScript generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the JavaScript runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The JavaScript runtime library is available at npm:
npm install kaitai-structSee the usage examples in the JavaScript notes.
Parse structure from an ArrayBuffer:
var arrayBuffer = ...;
var data = new BtrfsStream(new KaitaiStream(arrayBuffer));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing fields or properties like:
data.header // => get header
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
(function (root, factory) {
if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
define(['kaitai-struct/KaitaiStream'], factory);
} else if (typeof module === 'object' && module.exports) {
module.exports = factory(require('kaitai-struct/KaitaiStream'));
} else {
