@classmethod<EOL><INDENT>def init(cls):<DEDENT>
return LibZFSHandle._add_ref()<EOL>
Requests the current global libzfs handle (or creates one if no handle is active)

.. note::
   This function increases the refcount by one as such it is needed that :py:func:`LibZFSHandle.fini` is
   called when the process is completed to reduce the refcount, and allow for cleanup.
