[OpenZFS Developer] ZFS API

[Matthew Ahrens]

The CLI is the supported, stable interface for ZFS administrative
operations.

libzfs_core is on its way to being a stable API, but is incomplete.
Snapshot creation and destruction are there, though.  See libzfs_core.c.
There's some more info about its future direction here:

libzfs will probably never be a stable API, but it is complete, and plenty
of people have built tools around it.  But you must be very wary of its
sharp edges.
