It's used to dump information _about_ an arbitrary block. Here's an
example of some of the cool things you can do with logdump:
<tytso@...sure> {/usr/projects/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs} (next)
1742% gunzip < tests/f_jnl_32bit/image.gz > /tmp/image
<tytso@...sure> {/usr/projects/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs} (next)
1743% debugfs /tmp/image
debugfs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
debugfs: logdump -b 680
Journal starts at block 1, transaction 2

debugfs: quit
The idea is that this can be useful when debugging a potentially
corrupted journal, or for advanced file system recovery.
Note that logdump -c is most useful in combination with -b, for
example: "logdump -b 680 -c".
