Specifies that a hold with the given tag is applied recursively to the snapshots of all descendent file systems.
zfs holds [-rH] snapshot
Lists all existing user references for the given snapshot or snapshots.
Lists the holds that are set on the named descendent snapshots, in addition to listing the holds on the named snapshot.
Do not print headers, use tab-delimited output.
