NAME
addresses - Dumps the Palm Address Book entries
to STDOUT in a simple format.
SYNOPSIS
Redirect to a specified output file:
addresses [-p <port>] >
MyAddresses.txt
(Note the redirect) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- This will dump the Address Book from your Palm into the file
MyAddresses.txt in the format that looks similar to the following
format:
Category: Personal Businesses
Last name: Doe
First name: Jane
Company: Acme, Inc.
Work: +1 (800) GO-ACME
Home: jdoe@acme.org
Address: 123 Main Street
City: Anywhere
State: CA
Zip Code: 01234-5678
Country: USA
Title: Chief Annoyance Officer
Output to STDOUT (the screen)
addresses [-p <port>]
- This will dump the same information (shown above, in the same
format as above) to the screen or wherever you may have directed
STDOUT to on your system.
DESCRIPTION
addresses will connect to your Palm
handheld and dump all entries found in the AddressDB.pdb (Address
Book) file to STDOUT (generally the screen) or, if redirected with
the '>' (greater-than) character, it will redirect to a file of
your choosing (called "MyAddresses.txt in the above example, but
may be called any other filename you wish).
OPTIONS
There is only one option (and it is, well,
optional), and that is the '>' redirection character to send the
output to a file (or process) instead of STDOUT (generally "The
Screen[tm]")
USAGE
The program will read Address data from the Palm
handheld and output a format suitable for the other programs to
import as required. You may redirect the output to a file or
process, at your choosing.
addresses [-p <port>] >
MyAddresses.txt # redirect to a file (or process/pipe)
addresses [-p <port>] # print to
STDOUT/the screen
