znp: Wrap shell command in ZFS pre-post snapshots and log outputs.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Runs a command wrapped in ZFS pre-post snapshots. The whole data pool is recursively snapshotted.
# Analogous to my snp script for BTRFS: https://gist.github.com/erikw/5229436
# Usage: $ znp <commands>
# e.g.: $ znp pgk upgrade
# e.g.: $ znp portmaster -aG
# e.g.: $ znp freebsd-upgrade install
