NAME
       xfs_mdrestore - restores an XFS metadump image to a filesystem image

SYNOPSIS
       xfs_mdrestore [ -g ] source target

DESCRIPTION
       xfs_mdrestore is a debugging tool that restores a metadata image generated by xfs_metadump(8) to a filesystem. The source
       argument specifies the location of the metadump image and the target argument specifies the destination for the filsystem
       image.  If the source is -, then the metadata image is read from stdin. This allows the output of be another program such
       as a compression application to be redirected to xfs_mdrestore.  The target can be either a file or a device.

       xfs_mdrestore should not be used to restore metadata onto an existing filesystem unless you are  completely  certain  the
       target can be destroyed.

OPTIONS
       -g     Shows restore progress on stdout.

DIAGNOSTICS
       xfs_mdrestore returns an exit code of 0 if all the metadata is succesfully restored or 1 if an error occurs.
