+------------------------------------------------------
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+
+:program:`dnstap-read` [**-m**] [**-p**] [**-x**] [**-y**] {file}
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``dnstap-read`` reads ``dnstap`` data from a specified file and prints
+it in a human-readable format. By default, ``dnstap`` data is printed in
+a short summary format, but if the ``-y`` option is specified, a
+longer and more detailed YAML format is used.
+
+Options
+~~~~~~~
+
+``-m``
+   This option indicates trace memory allocations, and is used for debugging memory leaks.
+
+``-p``
+   This option prints the text form of the DNS
+   message that was encapsulated in the ``dnstap`` frame, after printing the ``dnstap`` data.
+
+``-x``
+   This option prints a hex dump of the wire form
+   of the DNS message that was encapsulated in the ``dnstap`` frame, after printing the ``dnstap`` data.
+
+``-y``
+   This option prints ``dnstap`` data in a detailed YAML format.
