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.
