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 commands 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.
