confusing and could be removed in the future.
+*du* [options] <path> [<path>..]::
+Calculate disk usage of the target files using FIEMAP. For individual
+files, it will report a count of total bytes, and exclusive (not
+shared) bytes. We also calculate a 'set shared' value which is
+described below.
++
+Each argument to 'btrfs fi du' will have a 'set shared' value
+calculated for it. We define each 'set' as those files found by a
+recursive search of an argument. The 'set shared' value
+then is a sum of all shared space referenced by the set.
++
+'set shared' takes into account overlapping shared extents, hence it
+isn't as simple as adding up shared extents.
