NAME
pilot-addresses - read and write address book databases to and from
a Palm handheld, such as those made from Palm, Handspring,
Handera, TRGPro, Sony or other Palm handheld.
(Note that not all available options are shown above)
DESCRIPTION
pilot-addresses allows the user to read all entries in the Palm
Address Book application, write new entries into the database, and delete a
category or delete all entries in the database.
OPTIONS
-p, --port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld.
If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environment
variable. If both are not found or supplied, install-expenses will
fall back to /dev/pilot.
-h, --help
Display the help synopsis for pilot-addresses.
-v, --version
Display version of pilot-addresses.
-a, --augment
Augments fields in address book records with additional information. The
augmented information is placed before and separated from the field with a
semi-colon, (;).
Augmented information can include any of the following below.
Install records to category <category> by default. Normally
pilot-addresses uses the Unfiled category by default. This
option is overridden by the category specified in the record with the
-a option.
-d, --delcat <category>
Delete all records in the specified category <category> before installing new records.
-D, --delall
Delete all address book records in all categories. Obviously, be very
careful with this one.
-e, --escape
Escape all special characters with a backslash. This enables you to read and
write entries with newline characters in a field or note.
-r, --read <file>
Reads records from <file> and install them to the Palm Address Book
application. (Use the -w <file> option to get a sample
"template file" for input records to see how the fields are laid out).
-t, --tdelim <delim>
Include category in each record, use the delimiter specified to separate all
fields of a record. Delimiters are specified as follows: 3=tab, 2=;, 1=,.
This overrides the default delimiter of comma between fields and semi-colon
between a field's augmented information. (Please note that this may generate
confusing results when used with the -a option.)
-T, --titles
Write a header line with field titles as the first line of the data file.
-w, --write <file>
Reads all address book records from the Palm Address Book application and writes
them into <file>
USAGE
The program will connect to the Palm handheld, and perform the requested
read or write operation specified by the user.
