## MlogParser Tool

After version 0.12.x, IoTDB encodes metadata files into binary format.

If you want to parse metadata into a human readable way, you can use this tool to parse the specified metadata file.

Currently, the tool can only parse mlog.bin file. 

If the consensus protocol used in cluster for SchemaRegion is RatisConsensus, IoTDB won't use mlog.bin file to store metadata and won't generate mlog.bin file.

### How to use

Linux/MacOS
> ./mLogParser.sh -f /your path/mlog.bin -o /your path/mlog.txt

Windows

> .\mLogParser.bat -f \your path\mlog.bin -o \your path\mlog.txt
