            "content": "The restore function reads the XML representation of an RRD and converts it to the native RRD\nformat.\n\nfilename.xml\nThe name of the XML file you want to restore. The special filename \"-\" (a single\ndash) is interpreted as standard input.\n\nIn order to support the restore command in pipe mode (especially when using RRDtool\nover a network connection), when using \"-\" as a filename the end of the file can be\nsignaled either by closing the data channel after the file has transferred (as would\nbe the case when using input redirection within a suitable shell) or by sending a\ncrtl-Z / newline combination. This allows one to send more commands to the RRDtool\nserver after a restore.\n\nfilename.rrd\nThe name of the RRD to restore.\n\n--range-check|-r\nMake sure the values in the RRAs do not exceed the limits defined for the various\ndata sources.\n\n--force-overwrite|-f\nAllows RRDtool to overwrite the destination RRD.\n",
