          The dddduuuummmmpppp function writes the contents of an RRRRRRRRDDD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RRRRRRRDDDD file in
          a somewhat more convenient manner.

          _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e._r_r_d
                  The name of the RRRRRRRRDDD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rrrrrrrddddttttoooooooollll dddduuuummmmpppp to export the data to XML format.

          2.  Transfer the XML dump to the target system.

          3.  Run rrrrrrrrddddttttoooooooollll rrrreeeessssttttoooorrrreeee to create a new RRD from the XML
              dump. See rrrrrrrrddddrrrreeeessssttttoooorrrreeee for details.
