oggz-dump(1) General Commands Manual oggz-dump(1)

NAME

oggz-dump — Hexdump packets of an Ogg file, or revert an Ogg file from such a hexdump

SYNOPSIS

oggz-dump [-b | --binary ] [-x | --hexadecimal ] [-n | --new ] [-o filename | --output filename ] [-c content-type | --content-type content-type ] [-s serialno | --serialno serialno ] [-O | --hide-offset ] [-S | --hide-serialno ] [-G | --hide-granulepos ] [-P | --hide-packetno ] filename

oggz-dump [-r | --revert ] [-o filename | --output filename ] filename

oggz-dump [-h | --help ] [-v | --version ]

Description

oggz-dump generates a hexadecimal or binary dump of packets in an Ogg file, or creates an Ogg file from a hexadecimal oggz-dump file.

Options

oggz-dump accepts the following options:

Dump format options

Generate a binary dump of each packet

Generate a hexadecimal dump of each packet

Filtering options

Only dump the first packet of each new logical bitstream found; for correctly formed Ogg files, this dumps only the beginning-of-stream packets.

Dump only the logical bitstreams for a specific content-type. Run oggz-known-codecs(1) for a full list of codecs known by the installed version of oggz.

Dump only the logical bitstream with specified serialno.

Hide the byte offset field of the preamble for each packet dumped. This is particularly useful in conjunction with oggzdiff(1) when comparing Ogg bitstreams that differ only in page structure.

Hide the serialno field of the preamble for each packet dumped. This is particularly useful in conjunction with oggzdiff(1) when comparing Ogg bitstreams that differ only in serialno assignment.

Hide the granulepos field of the preamble for each packet dumped.

Hide the packetno field of the preamble for each packet dumped.

Mode options

Revert an oggz-dump. Generates an Ogg bitstream as prescribed in the input oggz-dump.

The serialno, granulepos and packetno fields of the packet preambles in the oggz-dump, as well as any bos or eos markers if present, are used to structure the packets into logical bitstreams. Hence it is advised that the original input oggz-dump not be generated with any hiding filters.

Only the hexadecimal data columns of the input oggz-dump are parsed when generating Ogg packet data; the printable character representation is ignored.

Miscellaneous options

Write output to the specified filename instead of printing it to standard output.

Display usage information and exit.
Output version information and exit.

EXAMPLES

Dump all bitstreams in file.ogg:

oggz dump file.ogg

Dump only the Theora bitstream in file.ogv:

oggz dump -c theora file.ogv
