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.

       line help.
