How do I generate Symfony fixtures YML from exising database data?

Question

I was wondering if anyone knew how to generate a fixture.yml from data that is already existing in the database?

As you can use the build-schema to generate a schema, is there a way to do that for data?

symfony propel:build-schema

In Symfony 1.0 use the command:

$ php symfony propel-dump-data  <APPLICATION_NAME> <FIXTURES_DIR_OR_FILE> [<ENVIRONMENT_NAME>]

In versions 1.1 and 1.2 use the following command:

$ php symfony propel:data-dump <APPLICATION_NAME> [<TARGET>] [--env=<ENVIRONMENT_NAME>]
