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.
