nbd-trdump - Man Page

nbd-trdump

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.

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.
