    Introspecting a file on ZFS

Derived from: http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/7485-Find-out-in-depth-information-about-a-file-in-ZFS.html
Sometimes you need to acquire in-depth information about a file that isn't exposed by other commands like stat.
ZFS allows you to do this with zdb. However there's a confusing problem. If you're just trying to access a file on your root pool that doesn't have any nested datasets, you need use rpool/ instead of just rpool (assuming "rpool" is the name of your root pool).
Here's 3 examples of acquiring information on /filepath.

// Use Gists to store code you would like to remember later on
console.log(window); // log the "window" object to the console
