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.

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.
The cookie of the packet. Note: previous versions of this man page (and the NBD spec) referred to the cookie as the "handle".
The command sent.
The offet from the start of the disk.
The length of data.
The error returned.
The type of the structured reply message.
The flags on the structured reply message.
