NAME

dnstap-read - print dnstap data in human-readable form

SYNOPSIS

dnstap-read [ -m ] [ -p ] [ -x ] [ -y ] {file}

DESCRIPTION

dnstap-read reads dnstap data from a specified file and prints it in a human-readable format. By default, dnstap data is printed in a short summary format, but if the -y option is specified, a longer and more detailed YAML format is used.

OPTIONS

	-m		This option indicates trace memory allocations, and is used for debugging memory leaks.
	-p		This option prints the text form of the DNS message that was encapsulated in the dnstap frame, after printing the dnstap data.
	-t		This option prints long timestamps with millisecond precision.
	-x		This option prints a hex dump of the wire form of the DNS message that was encapsulated in the dnstap frame, after printing the dnstap data.
	-y		This option prints dnstap data in a detailed YAML format.
