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 ad-
dress books into a local file. It is intended to be used by system administrators. Regu-
lar users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.

Local_file will normally be a local temporary file. Remote_folder is the IMAP folder be-
ing used as a remote Alpine configuration (with the help of Alpine's -P, -p, and -x com-
mands 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.
