SYNOPSIScache_restore [options] -i {xml file} -o {device|file}
DESCRIPTIONcache_restore restores cache metadata created by the respective device-
mapper target dumped into an XML formatted (see cache_dump(8)) file,
which optionally can be preprocessed before the restore to another
device or file. If restored to a metadata device, the metadata can be
processed by the device-mapper target.
