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.
