NAME

       fstrm_dump - Display metadata and contents of Frame Streams file.

SYNOPSIS

       fstrm_dump input-file [output-file]

DESCRIPTION

       fstrm_dump  opens  input-file  and  prints  its framing metadata to stderr and frame data to stdout.  The
       input-file may be "-" to read Frame Streams data from standard input.

       Frame data is printed as a single line quoted string with non-printable characters replaced by backslash-
       prefixed hex escape sequences. For example, a frame containing  "Hello,  world\n"  would  have  its  data
       printed as:

             "Hello, world\x0a"

       The only framing metadata expected in a Frame Streams file are the start frame with a content type field,
       the data frame lengths, and the stop frame. These are printed, respectively, as:

            FSTRM_CONTROL_START

            FSTRM_CONTROL_FIELD_CONTENT_TYPE (N bytes)
             "content-type"

            Data frame (N) bytes

            FSTRM_CONTROL_STOP

       If fstrm_dump is given the second output-file parameter, input frames are additionally written to output-
       file.  This is mainly useful for regression testing of the fstrm_file_writer code.
