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.
