43.Sh NAME
44.Nm ffsinfo
45.Nd "dump all meta information of an existing ufs file system"
46.Sh SYNOPSIS
47.Nm
48.Op Fl g Ar cylinder_group
49.Op Fl i Ar inode
50.Op Fl l Ar level
51.Op Fl o Ar outfile
52.Ar special | file
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Nm
56utility extends the
57.Xr dumpfs 8
58utility.
59.Pp
60The output is appended to the file
61.Pa outfile .
62Also expect the output file to be rather large.
63Up to 2 percent of the size of the specified file system is not uncommon.
64.Pp
65The following options are available:
66.Bl -tag -width indent
67.It Fl g Ar cylinder_group
68This restricts the dump to information about this cylinder group only.
69Here
70.Ar 0
71means the first cylinder group and
72.Ar -1
73the last one.
74.It Fl i Ar inode
75This restricts the dump to information about this particular inode only.
76Here the minimum acceptable inode is
77.Ar 2 .
78If this option is omitted but a cylinder group is defined then only inodes
79within that cylinder group are dumped.
80.It Fl l Ar level
81The level of detail which will be dumped.
82This value defaults to
83.Ar 255
84and is the
85.Dq bitwise or
86of the following table:
87.Pp
88.Bl -hang -width indent -compact
89.It Ar 0x001
90initial superblock
91.It Ar 0x002
92superblock copies in each cylinder group
93.It Ar 0x004
94cylinder group summary in initial cylinder group
95.It Ar 0x008
96cylinder group information
97.It Ar 0x010
98inode allocation bitmap
99.It Ar 0x020
100fragment allocation bitmap
101.It Ar 0x040
102cluster maps and summary
103.It Ar 0x100
104inode information
105.It Ar 0x200
106indirect block dump
107.El
108.It Fl o Ar outfile
109This sets the output filename where the dump is written to, and
110must be specified.
111If
112.Fl
113is provided, output will be sent to stdout.
114.El
115.Sh EXAMPLES
116.Dl ffsinfo -o /var/tmp/ffsinfo -l 1023 /dev/md0
117.Pp
118will dump
119.Pa /dev/md0
120to
121.Pa /var/tmp/ffsinfo
122with all available information.

140.Sh BUGS
141Snapshots are handled like plain files.
142They should get their own level to provide for independent control of the
143amount of what gets dumped.
144It probably also makes sense to some extend to dump the snapshot as a
145file system.
