Here is an example of exporting Ri Attributes (e.g. Ri Round Curve) to an Alembic File for reading into RenderMan for Maya (RfM), which expects rman__ and not ri_ as Houdini has historically used.  

 

You can download this example here: curves_alembicattr.hip

When you read the alembic file into RfM, you will see the Round Curve attribute with the setting from Houdini.
