NBD-TRDUMP(1)                                                    NBD-TRDUMP(1)



NAME
       nbd-trdump - translate an nbd transaction log into human readable form

SYNOPSIS
       nbd-trdump


DESCRIPTION
       nbd-trdump translates a transaction log produced by nbd-server
       (specifically by the transactionlog configuration directive) into human
       readable form.

       The command acts as a traditional UNIX filter, i.e. the transaction log
       must be supplied on standard input, and the human readable output is
       sent to standard output.

OUTPUT
       The following may be output:

       >      A request packet sent from the client to the server.

       <      A reply packet sent from the server to the client.

       <S     A structured reply packet sent from the server to the client.

       H      The cookie of the packet. Note: previous versions of this man
              page (and the NBD spec) referred to the cookie as the "handle".

       C      The command sent.

       O      The offet from the start of the disk.

       L      The length of data.

       E      The error returned.

       T      The type of the structured reply message.

       F      The flags on the structured reply message.
