cfetooldump(8) - Linux man page

Name

cfetool dump - dump the contents of a database in XML format

Synopsis

cfetool dump name [--path│-p directory name] [--file│-f filename] [--daily│-d] [--weekly│-w] [--yearly│-y] [--verbose│-v] [--help│-h]

Description

Prints the contents of the specified database in XML format, with comments for human readability. This format can be read by cfetool import.

The -d, -w, and -y options specify which databases to include in the dump, and may be combined. If they are all ommitted, the default is to only dump the weekly database.

Options

--path│-p directory name

Names the directory in which the database specified by name can be found.

--file│-f filename

Names a file to print the XML to. If this option is omitted, the XML will be printed to the standard output stream.

--daily│-d

Include the daily pattern database in the dump.

--weekly│-w

Include the weekly pattern database in the dump.

--yearly│-y

Include the yearly pattern database in the dump.

--verbose│-v

Print details of the command's execution to the standard output stream. When using this argument, it is recommended that you also provide the -f argument, to avoid sharing the standard output stream.

--help│-h

Print a short help message and then exit.

Example

% cfetool dump temperature --path /my/path -f temperature.xml
