✨ NDN-DISSECT(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to ndn-dissect — it's the packet format inspector from the NDN Essential Tools collection, and honestly? it's giving microscope but make it fashion 🔬💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ndn-dissect — the NDN packet format inspector. yes that's the whole name section, she's brief and she knows it 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ndn-dissect [-h] [-c] [-V] [file]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe: ndn-dissect is an NDN packet format inspector, periodt. it reads zero or more NDN packets — zero, bestie, that's allowed, we love an empty read — from either an input file or the standard input, and then it displays the Type-Length-Value (TLV) structure of those packets on the standard output. TLV structure!! it's literally unwrapping the packet like a little gift 🎁✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --help — prints help and dips. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶
  • -c, --content — dissects the value of Content elements as well. by default the value of a Content element is treated as an opaque blob and is not dissected further, so if you want the tea inside the Content, you gotta ask for it with this flag 💅✨
  • -V, --version — prints the program version and exits. quick flex, no notes 😌
  • file — the file to read packets from. and if no file is given, or if file is -, the standard input is used. classic stdin behaviour, iykyk 🌈

🍓 EXAMPLES 🍓

inspect the response to Interest /app1/video — like, just look at her go:

ndnpeek /app1/video | ndn-dissect

pipe it, dissect it, obsess over the TLVs. main character energy fr fr 🔥
