+.Os BSD 4.4
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ffsinfo
+.Nd dump all meta information of an existing ufs file system
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ffsinfo
+.Op Fl L
+.Op Fl g Ar cylinder group
+.Op Fl i Ar inode
+.Op Fl l Ar level
+.Op Fl o Ar outfile
+.Ar < special | file >
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Ffsinfo
+extends the
+.Xr dumpfs 8
+program.
+.Pp
+The output is generated into the file
+.Nm outfile .
+Also expect the output file to be rather large. Up to 2 percent of the size
+of the specified filesystem is not uncommon.
+.Nm Ffsinfo
+has some options to allow the defaults to be overridden.
+.\".Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Fl L
+Specifying this options skips the tests of the disklabel. This is automatically
+done, if the specified filename to dump is a plain file.
+.It Fl g Ar cylinder group
+This restrictes the dump to infomation about this cylinder group only. Here
+0 means the first cylinder group and -1 the last one.
+.It Fl i Ar inode
+This restrictes the dump to infomation about this particular inode only. Here
+the minimum acceptable inode is 2. If this option is omitted but a cylinder
+group is defined then only inodes within that cylinder group are dumped.
+.It Fl l Ar level
+The level of detail which will be dumped. This value defaults
+to 255 and is the bitwise and of the following table:
+.Bd -literal -offset left
+0x001 - initial superblock
+0x002 - superblock copys in each cylindergroup
+0x004 - cylinder group summary in initial cylinder group
+0x008 - cylinder group information
+0x010 - inode allocation bitmap
+0x020 - fragment allocation bitmap
+0x040 - cluster maps and summary
+0x080 - rotational layout tables
+0x100 - inode information
+0x200 - indirect block dump
+.Ed
+.It Fl o Ar outfile
+This allows to change the output filename where the dump is written to. The
+current default is
+.Nm /var/tmp/ffsinfo .
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+.Pp
+.Dl ffsinfo -l 1023 /dev/vinum/testvol
+.Pp
+will dump /dev/vinum/testvol with all available information.
+.Sh BUGS
+Currently
+.Nm
+can only dump unmounted file systems. Do not try dumping a mounted file system,
+your system may panic and you will not be able to use the file system any
+longer.
+.Pp
+Also snapshots are handled like plain files. They should get a their own
+level to provide for independent control of the amount of what gets dumped. It
+probably also makes sense to some extend to dump the snapshot as a filesystem.
