       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 architecture to another as well as manipu-
       lating the contents of an RRRRDD file in a somewhat more con-
       venient 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.
