NAME

       cfetooldump - dump the contents of a database in XML format

SYNOPSIS

       cfetool dump name [--path|-p directory name] [--file|-f filename] [--daily|-d] [--weekly|-w] [--yearly|-y] [--verbose|-v] [--help|-h]

DESCRIPTION

       Prints the contents of the specified database in XML format, with comments for human readability. This format can be read by cfetool
       import.

       The -d, -w, and -y options specify which databases to include in the dump, and may be combined. If they are all omitted, the default is to
       only dump the weekly database.

OPTIONS

       --path|-p directory name
	   Names the directory in which the database specified by name can be found.

       --file|-f filename
	   Names a file to print the XML to. If this option is omitted, the XML will be printed to the standard output stream.

       --daily|-d
	   Include the daily pattern database in the dump.

       --weekly|-w
	   Include the weekly pattern database in the dump.

       --yearly|-y
	   Include the yearly pattern database in the dump.

       --verbose|-v
	   Print details of the command's execution to the standard output stream.  When using this argument, it is recommended that you also pro-
	   vide the -f argument, to avoid sharing the standard output stream.

       --help|-h
	   Print a short help message and then exit.

EXAMPLE

	 % cfetool dump temperature --path /my/path -f temperature.xml

       Prints the following to the file temperature.xml:

	<!-- cfetool Database Dump -->
	<dump>

	       <name> temperature </name>

	       <age> 1 </age> <!-- steps (0.001 weeks) -->

	       <step> 10 </step> <!-- minutes -->

	       <!-- consecutive updates -->
	       <iterations> 1 </iterations>

	       <!-- last update at Tue Aug 31 10:32:05 2004 -->
	       <timestamp> 1093973525 </timestamp>

	       <!-- current weighted average -->
	       <expect> 7.105000 </expect>

	       <!-- current variance -->
	       <var> 38.280217 </var>

	<!-- data entries -->
	       <entry> <timekey> Tue:Hr10:Min30_40 </timekey>
		       <expect> 10.150000 </expect>
		       <var> 13.245750 </var>
	       </entry>

	</dump>
