BINLOG_DUMP(8)

NAME
binlog_dump - Dump libtd binlogs

SYNOPSIS
binlog_dump <binlog_file_name>

DESCRIPTION
This program dumps a binary log created by a tdlib actor. The dumps from telegram-bot-api are kept in the api server's working directory, which on debian systems may be /var/cache/telegram-bot-api. The binlogs cannot be opened while they are in use, and opening them can render them unusable in some situations. Therefore, log files which are to be re-used should not be opened! Unusable logs cause crashes. The binlogs contain full chat (update) history and setup (eg webhook logins/configurations), so deleting a binlog can mean needing to reset webhooks of all client bots. The dump format is an escaped representation of the binary objects, which look like the JSON delivered by the bot API server to clients. They are dumped directly to stdout.
