Description

"zfs send" should be able to estimate the size of the send stream, using the same underlying logic as the "zfs written@" property. This will be handled via the existing "zfs send -v" flag, plus two new flags: -n and -P:

manpage changes:

-n

Do a dry-run ("No-op") send. Do not generate any
actual send data. This is useful in conjunction
with the -v or -P flags to determine what data will
be sent.

-P

Print machine-parsable verbose information about the
stream package generated.

example:

$ zfs send -Rnv rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.19.00
send from @ to rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.12.00 estimated size is 14.4M
send from @2011.08.12.00 to rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.15.00 estimated size is 9.03M
send from @2011.08.15.00 to rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.19.00 estimated size is 13.5M
total estimated size is 37.0M

$ zfs send -RvP rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.19.00 | wc -c
full    rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.12.00  15117480
incremental     2011.08.12.00   rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.15.00  9468864
incremental     2011.08.15.00   rpool/versions/2011.08.11.00/running/svc@2011.08.19.00  14195616
