Short answer: look at the docs for rrdtool's "fetch" command: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/manual/rrdfetch.html
Long answer: Rrdtool also has a "dump" command that will pour out the entire DB in xml form but that is generally overkill for uses like this. Depending on your application and needs, you could also set up a rra for daily or monthly "max" consolidation that would always have the data for you. Look at the docs for rrdtool create and notice how the derived RRAs with consolidation functions work. You might get rrdtool to do 90% of the work and just pluck one number out of a quick fetch command.
