	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>ndrdump tries to parse the specified <replaceable>filename</replaceable>
		using Samba's parser for the specified pipe and format. The
		third argument should be 
		either <emphasis>in</emphasis>, <emphasis>out</emphasis>
		or <emphasis>struct</emphasis>depending
		on whether the data should be parsed as a request, reply or a
		public structure.</para>

	<para>Running ndrdump without arguments will list the pipes for which 
		parsers are available.</para>

	<para>Running ndrdump with one argument will list the functions and
		public structures that
		Samba can parse for the specified pipe.</para>

	<para>The primary function of ndrdump is debugging Samba's internal 
		DCE/RPC parsing functions. The file being parsed is usually 
		one exported by wiresharks <quote>Export selected packet bytes</quote> 
		function.</para>

	<para>The context argument can be used to load context data from the request 
		packet when parsing reply packets (such as array lengths).</para>
