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.
-lLocal_file The file on this system that is to be copied to.
-rRemote_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.
