OGGDUMP(1)

💖 OGGDUMP 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to oggDump(1) — yeah that's the manual name, we're folding it in here, you're welcome ✨ — from the User Manuals collection. buckle up, we're reading ogg video files together 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

oggDump — prints out information of ogg video files (.ogv, .ogg or oga) 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

oggDump [options] file.ogv

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

OggDump gives detailed information about an ogg video file and prints these information with a given detail level. periodt. 🔥

Ogg files consist of a number of streams (video and audio). From the Ogg-container perspective, the streams are divided into pages. These pages usually have nearly the same size. The pages can be printed out with the -g option. 👑

From the stream perspective, every stream consists of packets. These packets carry a bunch of compressed audio samples in case of a vorbis stream or one video frame in case of a theora video stream. These packets could be of variable length and are places into the ogg pages. To toString the packets, use the -p option. 💀 (yes, "toString", that's literally the word, iykyk)

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -g — Dumps the stream pages of the file. 🫶
• -p — Dumps the stream packets. 🍓
• -l <level> — Set the dump level (1-5). Default is 5, which means all information are printed. 👑
• -s — Prompt for the stream that should be dumped. All other streams are ignored and will not be printed. 🙈
• -o <file> — Write the dump information to a file. 💜
