Subject: does btrfs-receive use/compare the checksums from the btrfs-send side?

Hey.
I've often wondered:
When I do a send/receive, does the receiving side use the checksums
from the sending side (either by directly storing them or by comparing
them with calculated checksums and failing if they don't match after
the transfer)?
Cause that would effectively secure any transport in between against
transmission errors ... and also against badblocks/etc. on the
receiving fs.
If btrfs is already that smart, then I think this feature should be
mentioned in the send/receive manpages.
Cheers,
Chris.
