wddump

NAME

wddump - dump the data structure of a WebDyne page in the cache directory

SYNOPSIS

wddump [OPTIONS] FILE

Description

The wddump command reads a compiled WebDyne Storable cache file and displays its internal data structure with Data::Dumper. The wddump utility is of limited diagnostic use - the wdcompile tool is more suitable for troubleshooting HTML tree errors.

wddump can be useful for inspecting the final data structure of complex pages built through multiple filters, static blocks, and dynamic blocks.

Options

  • --help

    Show brief help message.

  • --man

    Display the full manual.

  • --dump_opt

    Dump the processed option hash and exit.

  • --version

    Display the script version and exit.

Examples

# Display the data structure from a compiled, cached webdyne time.psp file. 
# File name and location will vary depending on your configuration 
#
$ wddump /var/webdyne/cache/26f2c4edc8bfd52fbde915290db96779
