fix faulty string to int conversion utilities

Probably it was expected that errno is set to EINVAL when illegal characters are encountered. But this is not standard and does not happen on every system, allowing illegal strings to be parsed as valid integers.

title: 'dav export'
---

**`dav export [-pc] [-o <file>] [-u <date>] <url>`**

Downloads a resource or a collection with all child resources, and writes the contents to an archive file. The Output is written to stdout, unless the **`-o`** option is used.

Currently the only available archive format is the ustar format.

These archive files can be uploaded to an collection with the [dav import][1] command.

**`-p`** disable file name and content decryption. You get exactly what is stored
  on the server.
  
**`-c`** enable file name and content decryption

**`-o <file>`** specify the local output file. A **-** indicates stdout

**`-u <date>`** download only files which are modified since the specified date. Uses the HTTP date format

[1]: ./import.html

### Example: create tar file from collection

	$ dav export -o collection.tar myserv/col/
