       rrddump - dump the contents of an RRRRDD to XML format

       The dduummpp function prints the contents of an RRRRDD in human readable (?)
       XML format. This format can be read by rrdrestore.  Together they allow
       you to transfer your files from one architecture to another as well as
       manipulating the contents of an RRRRDD file in a somewhat more convenient
       manner.

       _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e_._r_r_d
           The name of the RRRRDD you want to dump.

EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
       To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these steps:

       1.  On the same system where the RRD was created, use rrrrddttooooll dduummpp to
           export the data to XML format.

       2.  Transfer the XML dump to the target system

       3.  Run rrrrddttooooll rreessttoorree to create a new RRD from the XML dump.  See
           rrrrddrreessttoorree for details.
