zfs discuss - Oct 2007 - zfs receive - list contents of incremental stream?

Apologies up front for failing to find related posts...
Am I overlooking a way to get ''zfs send -i fs at 0 fs at 1 | zfs
receive -n -v ...'' to show the contents of the stream?  I''m
looking for the equivalent of ufsdump 1f - fs ... |  ufsrestore tv - .
I''m hoping that this might be a faster way than using ''find fs
-newer ...'' to learn what''s changed between fs at 0 and fs at
1.

I''d probably use this functionality to produce a list of files to
backup with cpio.  I don''t want to make archival backups using the
stream produced by ''zfs send'' because of caviots regarding the
liklihood of change in future releases.  If not ''zfs receive, is there
another utility that would do this job?  Thanks.

You really want 6425091 "zfs diff".

Thanks, Matt.  Are you interested in feedback on various questions regarding how
to display results?  On list or off?  Thanks.
