--- Comment #2 from Michael Gmelin <grembo@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Alan Somers from comment #1)

Re-opening, as even if using libzfs_core.h kernel sources are required, so all
the problems described by the bug author still exist.

This is how /usr/include/libzfs_core.h begins:

```
#ifndef _LIBZFS_CORE_H
#define _LIBZFS_CORE_H

#include <libnvpair.h>
```


Minimal example:

```
$ cat >test.c <<EOF
#include <libzfs_core.h>

int main()
{

}
EOF

$ cc test.c
/usr/include/libzfs_core.h:32:10: fatal error: 'libnvpair.h' file not found
#include <libnvpair.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

$ find / -name libnvpair.h
/usr/src/sys/contrib/openzfs/include/libnvpair.h

Try adding it to the search path:

$ cc -I/usr/src/sys/contrib/openzfs/include test.c
tons of errors, many more include paths required...
```
