What is `mkfs.btrfs -r $rootdir` supposed to be used with?

I know `mkfs.btrfs -r $rootdir` copies whatever in $rootdir to the
newly created filesystem.

When I try to use it for a block device, it creates a "minimal"
filesystem which can only be mounted read-only.

When I use it for an (qemu raw) image, it seems to work but it also gives:
 ERROR: device scan failed 'test.img' - Block device required
in the process.

So what is it supposed to be used with?
