DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     The rreessttoorree function reads the XML representation of an RRD and converts it
     to the native RRRRDD format.

     _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e_._x_m_l
             The  name of the XXMMLL file you want to restore. The special filename
             "-" (a single dash) is interpreted as standard input.

             In order to support the restore command in  pipe  mode  (especially
             when  using RRRRDDttooooll over a network connection), when using "-" as a
             filename the end of the file can be signaled either by closing  the
             data  channel  after the file has transferred (as would be the case
             when using input redirection within a suitable shell) or by sending
             a crtl-Z / newline combination. This allows one to send  more  com‐
             mands to the RRRRDDttooooll server after a restore.

     _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e_._r_r_d
             The name of the RRRRDD to restore.

     ----rraannggee--cchheecckk|--rr
             Make  sure  the values in the RRAs do not exceed the limits defined
             for the various data sources.

     ----ffoorrccee--oovveerrwwrriittee|--ff
             Allows RRRRDDttooooll to overwrite the destination RRRRDD.
