NAME

       rpdump - alpine remote data utility

SYNTAX

       rpdump [ -f ] -l Local_file -r Remote_folder

DESCRIPTION

       Rpdump may be used to copy the actual data from remote Alpine configuration files or address books into a local file.  It is intended to be
       used by system administrators.  Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.

       Local_file will normally be a local temporary file.  Remote_folder is the IMAP folder being used as a remote Alpine configuration (with the
       help  of Alpine's -P, -p, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) or remote Alpine address book folder.  A
       copy of the data from Remote_folder will be copied to Local_file.

       -f		   Force the dump even if the remote folder is in an unrecognized format.

       -l Local_file	   The file on this system that is to be copied to.

       -r Remote_folder    A remote folder name to be copied from.  See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of  a  remote  folder  name.   One
			   example is
			   {my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
