The zstream utility manipulates ZFS send streams output by the zfssend command.
zstreamdump [-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 zstreamdump.
zstreamtokenresume_token
Dumps zfs resume token information
zstreamdecompress [-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 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 decompressed, 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.
zstreamredup [-v] file
Deduplicated send streams can be generated by using the zfssend-D command. The ability to send
deduplicated send streams is deprecated. In the future, the ability to receive a deduplicated send
stream with zfsreceive will be removed. However, deduplicated send streams can still be received by
utilizing zstreamredup.
The zstreamredup 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:
#zstreamredupDEDUP_STREAM_FILE | zfsreceive …
-v Verbose. Print summary of converted records.
zstreamrecompress [-llevel] 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
recompressed, 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.
-llevel
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).
