+
+Synopsis

+
+| **ceph-dencoder** [commands...]
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+**ceph-dencoder** is a utility to encode, decode, and dump ceph data
+structures. It is used for debugging and for testing inter-version
+compatibility.
+
+**ceph-dencoder** takes a simple list of commands and performs them
+in order.
+
+Commands
+========
+
+.. option:: version
+
+ Print the version string for the **ceph-dencoder** binary.
+
+.. option:: import <file>
+
+ Read a binary blob of encoded data from the given file. It will be
+ placed in an in-memory buffer.
+
+.. option:: export <file>
+
+ Write the contents of the current in-memory buffer to the given
+ file.
+
+.. option:: list_types
+
+ List the data types known to this build of **ceph-dencoder**.
+
+.. option:: type <name>
+
+ Select the given type for future ``encode`` or ``decode`` operations.
+
+.. option:: decode
+
+ Decode the contents of the in-memory buffer into an instance of the
+ previously selected type. If there is an error, report it.
+
+.. option:: encode
+
+ Encode the contents of the in-memory instance of the previously
+ selected type to the in-memory buffer.
+
+.. option:: dump_json
+
+ Print a JSON-formatted description of the in-memory object.
+
+.. option:: count_tests
+
+ Print the number of built-in test instances of the previosly
+ selected type that **ceph-dencoder** is able to generate.
+
+.. option:: select_test <n>
+
+ Select the given build-in test instance as a the in-memory instance
+ of the type.
+
+.. option:: get_features
+
+ Print the decimal value of the feature set supported by this version
+ of **ceph-dencoder**. Each bit represents a feature. These correspond to
+ CEPH_FEATURE_* defines in src/include/ceph_features.h.
+
+.. option:: set_features <f>
+
+ Set the feature bits provided to ``encode`` to *f*. This allows
+ you to encode objects such that they can be understood by old
+ versions of the software (for those types that support it).
+
+Example
+=======
+
+Say you want to examine an attribute on an object stored by ``ceph-osd``. You can do::
+
+ $ cd /mnt/osd.12/current/2.b_head
+ $ attr -l foo_bar_head_EFE6384B
+ Attribute "ceph.snapset" has a 31 byte value for foo_bar_head_EFE6384B
+ Attribute "ceph._" has a 195 byte value for foo_bar_head_EFE6384B
+ $ attr foo_bar_head_EFE6384B -g ceph._ -q > /tmp/a
+ $ ceph-dencoder type object_info_t import /tmp/a decode dump_json
+ { "oid": { "oid": "foo",
+ "key": "bar",
+ "snapid": -2,
+ "hash": 4024842315,
+ "max": 0},
+ "locator": { "pool": 2,
+ "preferred": -1,
+ "key": "bar"},
+ "category": "",
+ "version": "9'1",
+ "prior_version": "0'0",
+ "last_reqid": "client.4116.0:1",
+ "size": 1681,
+ "mtime": "2012-02-21 08:58:23.666639",
+ "lost": 0,
+ "wrlock_by": "unknown.0.0:0",
+ "snaps": [],
+ "truncate_seq": 0,
+ "truncate_size": 0,
+ "watchers": {}}
