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
	 input,	 when the compression type recorded in ZFS metadata may	be in-
	 correct.  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	decompressed, if possible.  It may not be pos-
	 sible,	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
	 command.   The	 ability  to  send deduplicated	send streams is	depre-
	 cated.	 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  dedupli-
	 cated	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

	 -v  Verbose.  Print summary of	converted records.

       zstream recompress [-l level] algorithm
	 Recompresses a	send stream, provided on  standard  input,  using  the
	 provided algorithm and	optional level,	and writes the modified	stream
	 to standard output.  All WRITE	records	in the send stream will	be re-
	 compressed,  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 recompressed.

	 -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-de-
	     fault level is desired).

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

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