+### Inspect variables in a checkpoint
+
+We can quickly inspect variables in a checkpoint with the 
+[`inspect_checkpoint`](https://www.tensorflow.org/code/tensorflow/python/tools/inspect_checkpoint.py) library.
+
+Continuing from the save/restore examples shown earlier:
+
+```python
+# import the inspect_checkpoint library
+from tensorflow.python.tools import inspect_checkpoint as chkp
+
+# print all tensors in checkpoint file
+chkp.print_tensors_in_checkpoint_file("/tmp/model.ckpt", tensor_name='', all_tensors=True)
+
+# tensor_name:  v1
+# [ 1.  1.  1.]
+# tensor_name:  v2
+# [-1. -1. -1. -1. -1.]
+
+# print only tensor v1 in checkpoint file
+chkp.print_tensors_in_checkpoint_file("/tmp/model.ckpt", tensor_name='v1', all_tensors=False)
+
+# tensor_name:  v1
+# [ 1.  1.  1.]
+
+# print only tensor v2 in checkpoint file
+chkp.print_tensors_in_checkpoint_file("/tmp/model.ckpt", tensor_name='v2', all_tensors=False)
