 DESCRIPTION 
@@ -79,6 +79,12 @@ The properties each instance needs are:
 			set according to "zfs/interval"
 			 (eg. every 10 days)
 
+ zfs/offset		The time from the start of the current interval at which
+			snapshots should be taken, expressed in seconds. For example
+			to take snapshots hourly at 15 minutes into the hour,
+			zfs/offset = 900 (60 sec. * 15)  To take daily snapshots at
+			15:43, zfs/offset = 56580.
+
  zfs/snapshot-children	"true" if you would like to recursively take snapshots
 			of all child filesystems of the specified fs-name.
 			This value is ignored when setting zfs/fs-name='//'
