NAME
read-ical - coverts information on your Palm
handheld into an Ical-formatted calendar. Note, this is not the
same as the iCal calendar format.
SYNOPSIS
read-ical [-p <port>]
<filename>
DESCRIPTION
read-ical allows the user to retrieve
the contents of the ToDo and Datebook databases on a Palm handheld,
and convert their contents to an Ical calendar.
Note that the calendar file named by <filename>
will be deleted, so do not use your main calendar. Instead, use a
separate one for this purpose, and include it in your main
calendar.
As read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical
application must be in your $PATH.
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, will
fall back to /dev/pilot.
- -h, --help
- Display the help synopsis for read-ical.
- -v, --version
- Display version of read-ical.
- <filename>
- This is the file to output the ical-formatted data
to.
USAGE
The program will connect to a target device, retrieve
the ToDo and Datebook databases (ToDoDB.pdb and DatebookDB.pdb
respectively), then instruct ical to write a calendar file
based on the retrieved information.
