XDDUMP(1)		     General Commands Manual		       XDDUMP(1)

NAME
     xddump - dump an XDiary calendar to file

SYNOPSIS
     xddump [-usage] [xdiaryOption ...]

DESCRIPTION
     xddump  reads a calendar and saves the entries in a file or the entries are
     displayed on the screen. xddump can be used to make a backup of a	calendar
     or to display the calendar on a character terminal.

     xddump  produces  a  tagged  file where each entry is split into components
     (such as alarm offsets, flags, entry text etc.) which are identified with a
     tag. The tagged file can then be used by other utilities.	One utility that
     uses the output file from xddump is xdrestore  which  restores  a	calendar
     from a tagged file.

     xddump  can  be run in either display mode or backup mode. In display mode,
     the contents of a calendar is displayed on the screen while in backup mode,
     a tagged file is written.

     In display mode, xddump provides a 'hook' for your own  customized  output.
     The  tagged  file produced by xddump is passed to a program or shell script
     you provide. This allows you to customize the output from xddump.

OPTIONS
     xddump supports several options which are described in the  XDiary  on-line
     help.

FILES
     $HOME/Diary
     $HOME/XDiary.backup
