ZSTREAM(8)		     System Manager's Manual		      ZSTREAM(8)

NAME
     zstream -- manipulate ZFS send streams

SYNOPSIS
     zstream dump [-Cvd] [file]
     zstream decompress [-v] [object,offset[,type...]]
     zstream redup [-v] file
     zstream token resume_token
     zstream recompress [-l level] algorithm

DESCRIPTION
     The  zstream  utility  manipulates  ZFS send streams output by the zfs send
     command.

     zstream dump [-Cvd] [file]
       Print information about the specified send stream, including headers  and
       record  counts.	 The send stream may either be in the specified file, or
       provided on standard input.

       -C  Suppress the validation of checksums.

       -v  Verbose.  Print metadata for each record.

       -d  Dump data contained in each record.	Implies verbose.

       The zstreamdump alias is provided for compatibility and is equivalent  to
       running zstream dump.

     zstream token resume_token
       Dumps zfs resume token information

     zstream decompress [-v] [object,offset[,type...]]
       Decompress selected records in a ZFS send stream provided on standard in-
       put, when the compression type recorded in ZFS metadata may be incorrect.
       Specify the object number and byte offset of each record that you wish to
       decompress.   Optionally specify the compression type.  Valid compression
       types include off, gzip, lz4, lzjb, zstd, and zle.  The default	is  lz4.
       Every  record  for  that  object  beginning at that offset will be decom-
       pressed, if possible.  It may not be possible, because the record may  be
       corrupted  in  some  but not all of the stream's snapshots.  Specifying a
       compression type of off will change the	stream's  metadata  accordingly,
       without	attempting  decompression.   This can be useful if the record is
       already uncompressed but the metadata insists  otherwise.   The	repaired
       stream will be written to standard output.

       -v  Verbose.  Print summary of decompressed records.

     zstream redup [-v] file
       Deduplicated  send streams can be generated by using the zfs send -D com-
       mand.  The ability to send deduplicated send streams is	deprecated.   In
       the  future,  the  ability to receive a deduplicated send stream with zfs
       receive will be removed.  However, deduplicated send streams can still be
       received by utilizing zstream redup.

       The zstream redup command is provided a file  containing  a  deduplicated
       send  stream,  and  outputs an equivalent non-deduplicated send stream on
       standard output.  Therefore, a deduplicated send stream can  be	received
       by running:
	     # zstream redup DEDUP_STREAM_FILE | zfs receive a|

       -v  Verbose.  Print summary of converted records.

     zstream recompress [-l level] algorithm
       Recompresses  a	send  stream, provided on standard input, using the pro-
       vided algorithm and optional level, and writes  the  modified  stream  to
       standard  output.   All	WRITE  records in the send stream will be recom-
       pressed, unless they fail to result in size reduction compared  to  being
       left  uncompressed.  The provided algorithm can be any valid value to the
       compress property.  Note that encrypted send  streams  cannot  be  recom-
       pressed.

       -l level
	   Specifies  compression  level.   Only needed for algorithms where the
	   level is not implied as part of  the  name  of  the	algorithm  (e.g.
	   gzip-3  does  not require it, while zstd does, if a non-default level
	   is desired).

EXAMPLES
     Heal a dataset that was corrupted due to OpenZFS bug #12762.  First, deter-
     mine which records are corrupt.  That cannot be done automatically; it  re-
     quires  information  beyond  ZFS's metadata.  If object 128 is corrupted at
     offset 0 and is compressed using lz4, then run this command:

     # zfs send -c ^a| | zstream decompress 128,0,lz4 | zfs recv ^a|
