       The xxppoorrtt function's main purpose is to write an XML formatted
       representation of the data stored in one or several RRRRDDs. It can also
       extract numerical reports.

       If no _X_P_O_R_T statements are found, there will be no output.

       --ss|----ssttaarrtt _s_e_c_o_n_d_s (default end-1day)
           The time when the exported range should begin. Time in seconds
           since epoch (1970-01-01) is required. Negative numbers are relative
           to the current time. By default one day worth of data will be
           printed.  See also "AT-STYLE TIME SPECIFICATION" in rrdfetch for a
           detailed explanation on how to specify time.

           See "OUTPUT FORMAT" below for details on how this affects the
           output.

       --ee|----eenndd _s_e_c_o_n_d_s (default now)
           The time when the exported range should end. Time in seconds since
           epoch.  See also "AT-STYLE TIME SPECIFICATION" in rrdfetch for a
           detailed explanation on how to specify time.

           See "OUTPUT FORMAT" below for details on how this affects the
           output.

       --mm|----mmaaxxrroowwss _r_o_w_s (default 400 rows)
           This works like the --ww|----wwiiddtthh parameter of _r_r_d_g_r_a_p_h.  In fact it
           is exactly the same, but the parameter was renamed to describe its
           purpose in this module. See _r_r_d_g_r_a_p_h documentation for details.

       ----sstteepp _v_a_l_u_e (default automatic)
           See rrdgraph documentation.

       ----ddaaeemmoonn|--dd _a_d_d_r_e_s_s
           Address of the rrdcached daemon. If specified, a "flush" command is
           sent to the server before reading the RRD files. This allows
           rrrrddttooooll to return fresh data even if the daemon is configured to
           cache values for a long time.  For a list of accepted formats, see
           the --ll option in the rrdcached manual.

             rrdtool xport --daemon unix:/var/run/rrdcached.sock ...

       --tt|----sshhoowwttiimmee
           include the time into each data row.

       ----jjssoonn
           produce json formatted output (instead of xml)

       ----eennuummddss
           The generated xml should contain the data values in enumerated
           tags.

       XXPPOORRTT::_v_n_a_m_e[::_l_e_g_e_n_d]
           At least one _X_P_O_R_T statement should be present. The values
           referenced by _v_n_a_m_e are printed. Optionally add a legend.

       The output is enclosed in an xxppoorrtt element and contains two blocks. The
       first block is enclosed by a mmeettaa element and contains some meta data.
       The second block is enclosed by a ddaattaa element and contains the data
       rows.

       Let's assume that the _x_p_o_r_t command looks like this:

         rrdtool xport \
                 --start now-1h --end now \
                 DEF:xx=host-inout.lo.rrd:output:AVERAGE \
                 DEF:yy=host-inout.lo.rrd:input:AVERAGE \
                 CDEF:aa=xx,yy,+,8,* \
                 XPORT:xx:"out bytes" \
                 XPORT:aa:"in and out bits"

       The resulting meta data section is (the values will depend on the RRD
       characteristics):

         <meta>
           <start>1020611700</start>
           <step>300</step>
           <end>1020615600</end>
           <rows>14</rows>
           <columns>2</columns>
           <legend>
             <entry>out bytes</entry>
             <entry>in and out bits</entry>
           </legend>
         </meta>

       The resulting data section is:

         <data>
           <row><t>1020611700</t><v>3.4000000000e+00</v><v>5.4400000000e+01</v></row>

           <row><t>1020615000</t><v>3.4000000000e+00</v><v>5.4400000000e+01</v></row>
           <row><t>1020615300</t><v>3.4000000000e+00</v><v>5.4400000000e+01</v></row>
           <row><t>1020615600</t><v>NaN</v><v>NaN</v></row>
         </data>

       All the statistics in the output will use the same step. The first
       sample will be the first sample starting immediately after ----ssttaarrtt. The
       last sample will be the one ending at or immediately after ----eenndd.

       Each sample has a timestamp and one or more values. The timestamps
       associated with a value in RRDtool ALWAYS represent the time the sample
       was taken. Since any value you sample will represent some sort of past
       state your sampling apparatus has gathered, the timestamp will always
       be at the end of the sampling period.

       RRDtool does not store the actual samples, but does internal resampling
       of the values presented to it. Nevertheless when a data value is
       presented with a single timestamp the timestamp is at the end of the
       period the value represents. Note that the timestamp itself is outside
       the period the sample is valid for. For more details about this, see
       PDP calculation explanation.

       So the time range for a sample with a timestamp is actually from
       "timestamp - step" inclusive to "timestamp" exclusive.

       The first line of the sample output:

           <row><t>1020611700</t><v>3.4000000000e+00</v><v>5.4400000000e+01</v></row>

       therefore means that the values for the interval 1020611400 to
       1020611699 were 3.4 and 54.4 for "out bytes" and "in and out bits"
       respectively, because the value was taken at 1020611700.

       The following environment variables may be used to change the behavior
       of "rrdtool xport":

       RRRRDDCCAACCHHEEDD__AADDDDRREESSSS
           If this environment variable is set it will have the same effect as
           specifying the "--daemon" option on the command line. If both are
           present, the command line argument takes precedence.
