That is correct. Send the USR2 signal and tinc will dump a list of Nodes, Edges
and Subnets to the syslog. The list of Subnets is similar to a routing table,
sorted in the same way as the "route" command prints routes, so the first
matching Subnet starting from the top will be used to decide which node a
packet to send to. However, tinc lists all known Subnets, even those from nodes
who might not be reachable. If a node is not reachable, tinc will skip its
Subnets when trying to find a match.

Tinc 1.1 has a command line utility to get a dump of all the Subnets more
easily. There is also an experimental GUI. It's not released yet, but it works
and you can get it from the git repository:

git clone -b 1.1 http://tinc-vpn.org/git/tinc

or if you don't want to use git and just want a tarball download:
