       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 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.

       _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.

       To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these steps:

       1.  On the same system where the RRD was created, use rrrrddt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.
