12 exports and imports game state as plain text.
16 Use complete export format: don't omit data import doesn't need.
19 Use game configuration in \fIconfigfile\fR.
22 Help. Print brief usage information and exit.
25 Import from \fIdump-file\fR.
28 Use machine-readable format for export. Import always recognizes both
29 machine-readable and human-readable format.
32 Dry run, don't actually update game state on import.
35 Print version information and exit.
38 Export game state to standard output.
41 can't export player bmaps, power report, telegrams, announcements,
42 message of the day, no-login message and log files. Exported
43 floating-point values may be inexact. Importing an exported game
44 state may not result in identical data files; besides the loss of
45 floating-point precision just mentioned, coordinates are normalized,
46 and characters beyond a string's terminating zero in a character array
