+# Algodump
+
+This is a tool for monitoring the messages sent over Algorand's network
+protocol.
+
+By default, the tool connects to a network in the same way that `algod`
+does, using SRV records and connecting to 4 relays from that list.
+
+You can change the network by using the `-network` flag; you will likely
+also need to specify the correct `-genesis` flag for that network (e.g.,
+`-network testnet -genesis testnet-v1.0`).
+
+You can also instruct `algodump` to connect to just one server.  This may
+be useful if you want to debug a specific server, or if you want to avoid
+seeing the same message received from multiple relays.  To do this, use
+the `-server` flag (e.g., `-server r-po.algorand-mainnet.network:4160`).
+
+By default, `algodump` will print all messages received.  If you want to
+print just some message types, use the `-tags` flag (e.g., `-tags TX`
+to only see transactions, or `-tags AV` to see votes).  The full list
+of tag types is in `protocol/tags.go`.
+
+Although `algodump` will print all message types, it might not know how
+to meaningfully display the contents of some message types.  If you
+are trying to monitor messages that `algodump` doesn't know how to
+pretty-print, you will see just where the message came from, the message
+type, and the length of its payload.  You can add more formatting code
+to print the contents of other messages by adding more cases to the
+`switch` statement in `dumpHandler.Handle()` in `main.go`.
+
+Finally, `algodump` by default truncates the addresses it prints (e.g.,
+the sender of a transaction or the address of a voter); you can use the
+`-long` flag to print full-length addresses.
