    You may want to look at the btrfs-progs libify patches (posted to
this list in the last couple of months), which try to pull out the
more useful bits of btrfs-progs as a userspace C API.

FYI, libify patch will be in the next integration branch.

    You may also want to look at the bits I implemented in python[2]
for a subset of the btrfs ioctls and data structures in btrfs-gui.

    Other than that, it's down to the data structures documentation on
the wiki[1], and reading through ioctl.h.

bedup https://github.com/g2p/bedup does python binding, in a different
way than btrfs-gui.

Andy also mentioned being interested in language bindings of a libified
btrfs-progs, cc:ing.

Yeah. Python/otherlang wrappers around a btrfs-progs C api seem preferable to each binding calling ioctls themselves, no? I think every common language is going to eventually want a btrfs lib.
