[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
       The [1mdump [22mfunction prints the contents of an [1mRRD [22min 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 [1mRRD [22mfile in a somewhat more convenient
       manner.

[1mEXAMPLES[0m
       To transfer an RRD between architectures, follow these steps:

       1.  On the same system where the RRD was created, use [1mrrdtool dump [22mto
           export the data to XML format.

       2.  Transfer the XML dump to the target system

       3.  Run [1mrrdtool restore [22mto create a new RRD from the XML dump.  See
           [1mrrdrestore [22mfor details.
