       The dduummpp function writes the contents of an RRRRDD in human
       readable (?) XML format to a file or to stdout. This for-
       mat can be read by rrdrestore. Together they allow you to
       transfer your files from one computer architecture to
       another as well to manipulate the contents of an RRRRDD file
       in a somewhat more convenient manner.

       _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e_._r_r_d
               The name of the RRRRDD you want to dump.

       _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e_._x_m_l
               The (optional) filename that you want to write the
               XML output to.  If not specified, the XML will be
               printed to stdout.

EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
       To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these
       steps:

       1.  On the same system where the RRD was created, use rrrrdd--
           ttooooll dduummpp to export the data to XML format.

       2.  Transfer the XML dump to the target system.

       3.  Run rrrrddttooooll rreessttoorree to create a new RRD from the XML
           dump. See rrrrddrreessttoorree for details.
