SYNOPSIS
mtbl_info FILE [FILE]...
DESCRIPTION
mtbl_info(1) displays the following information about the MTBL files specified on the command line.
file name --- the name of the MTBL file.
file size --- the total size of the MTBL file, in bytes.
index bytes --- the total number of bytes and proportion of the total file size consumed by the index.
data block bytes --- the total number of bytes and proportion of the total file size consumed by data blocks.
data block size --- the maximum size of an uncompressed data block.
data block count --- the total number of data blocks.
entry count --- the total number of key-value entries.
key bytes --- the total number of bytes that all keys in the file would occupy if stored end-to-end in a byte array with no delimiters.
value bytes --- the total number of bytes that all values in the file would occupy if stored end-to-end in a byte array with no delimiters.
compression algorithm --- the algorithm used to compress data blocks. Possible values are "none", "snappy", "zlib", "lz4", and "lz4hc".
compactness --- a rough metric comparing the total number of bytes in the key-value entries with the total size of the MTBL file. It is calculated as (file size) / (key bytes + value bytes), and thus takes into account the gains of data block compression and prefix key compression against the overhead of the index, metadata, and data block offset arrays.
