NAME
       thin_dump  -  dump  thin	 provisioning  metadata from device or file to
       standard output

SYNOPSIS
       thin_dump [options] {metadata device|file}

       thin_dump dumps thin provisioning metadata created by the device-mapper
       thin  provisioning  target  on  a device or file to standard output for
       analysis or postprocessing in either XML or human readable format.  XML
       formated metadata can be fed into thin_restore (see thin_restore(8)) in

       mapper target) or file.

       -r, --repair

       -h, --help
       Print help and exit.

       -V, --version
       Output version information and exit.

EXAMPLES
       Dumps the thin provisioning metadata on logical volume /dev/vg/metadata
       to standard output in human readable format:

       thin_dump -f human_redable /dev/vg/metadata

       Dumps the thin provisioning metadata on logical volume /dev/vg/metadata
       to standard output in XML format:

       thin_dump /dev/vg/metadata
