       The dduummpp function prints the contents of an RRRRDD in human
       readable (?) XML format. This format 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.

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.
