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

Prints the following to the file temperature.xml:
