The following command-line tools are useful for debugging and testing Ogg bitstreams:

• oggzinfo: Display information about one or more Ogg files and their bitstreams.
• oggzdump: Hexdump packets of an Ogg file, or revert an Ogg file from such a hexdump.
• oggzdiff: Hexdump the packets of two Ogg files and output differences.
• oggzmerge: Merge Ogg files together, interleaving pages in order of presentation time.
• oggzrip: Extract one or more logical bitstreams from an Ogg file.
• oggz-scan: Scan an Ogg file and output characteristic landmarks. New in version 0.9.3
• oggz-validate:
  Validate the Ogg framing of one or more files.

liboggz supports the flexibility afforded by the Ogg file format while providing for strict adherence to the formatting requirements of Ogg bitstreams, to ensure that only valid bitstreams are generated; writes can fail if you try to write illegally structured packets.
