tracker-export \- Export all data from a Tracker database.

.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtracker export\fR [\fIoptions\fR...]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.B tracker export
exports all data stored in a Tracker database, in Turtle format.

The output is intended to be machine-readable, not human readable.
Use a tool such as rapper(1) to convert the data to different formats.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-g, \-\-show-graphs
This flag causes the relevant GRAPH statements to be output along with
the data.

In this mode the output is TriG syntax rather than Turtle, due to
the extra GRAPH statements. Some tools which understand Turtle do not
understand TriG.
