-tlvdump
-=======
-
-``tlvdump`` is a simple application allowing to decode structure of TLV-encoded packet.
-
-Deprecated
-----------
-
-tlvdump is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of ndn-cxx.
-Please use ``ndn-dissect`` program from ndn-tools repository `<https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tools>`__.
-
-Usage
------
-
-::
-
-    tlvdump [filename]
-
-Description
------------
-
-If filename is specified, ``tlvdump`` will attempt to read and decode content of the file,
-otherwise data will be read from standard input.
-
-Example
--------
-
-::
-
-    $ tlvdump interest.tlv
-    5 (Interest) (size: 89)
-      7 (Name) (size: 20)
-        8 (NameComponent) (size: 5) [[local]]
-        8 (NameComponent) (size: 3) [[ndn]]
-        8 (NameComponent) (size: 6) [[prefix]]
-      9 (Selectors) (size: 55)
-        13 (MinSuffixComponents) (size: 1) [[%01]]
-        14 (MaxSuffixComponents) (size: 1) [[%01]]
-        28 (KeyLocatorDigest) (size: 22)
-          7 (Name) (size: 20)
-            8 (NameComponent) (size: 4) [[test]]
-            8 (NameComponent) (size: 3) [[key]]
