   t;/dr; No.
   
   It does not duplicate the dump functionality - there are some similarities, 
but serve different use cases.  The dump command writes out the entire contents 
of ZooKeeper to backup or restore the ZooKeeper contents. And while it does 
dump the property contents, they are base64 encoded and not human readable - 
they would need to be decoded and the decompressed.
   
   This utility provides a human readable output of the properties, along with 
other info stored in ZooKeeper - its utility is geared towards helping if a 
system recovery is necessary.  Without a shell it allows examining the 
properties - as well as the id - name mappings.  Assembling this in a human 
readable form is a lot easier than dumping the ZooKeeper contents and then 
trying to piece the information back together,
