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
