nncp-pkt

% nncp-pkt [options] < pkt
% nncp-pkt [options] -dump < pkt > payload

Low level packet parser. Normally it should not be used, but can help in debugging.

By default it will print packet’s type, for example:

Packet type: encrypted
Niceness: 64
Sender: 2WHBV3TPZHDOZGUJEH563ZEK7M33J4UESRFO4PDKWD5KZNPROABQ
Payload size: 4.0 MiB (4162852 bytes)

If you specify -dump option and provide an encrypted packet, then it will verify and decrypt it to stdout. Encrypted packets contain plain ones, that also can be fed to nncp-pkt:

Packet type: plain
Payload type: transitional
Path: VHMTRWDOXPLK7BR55ICZ5N32ZJUMRKZEMFNGGCEAXV66GG43PEBQ

Packet type: plain
Payload type: mail
Path: stargrave@stargrave.org

And with the -dump option it will give you the actual payload (the whole file, mail message, and so on).
