NAME
read-todos - Syncronize your Palm ToDo
application's database with your desktop machine.
SYNOPSIS
read-todos [-p <port>]
[options]
DESCRIPTION
read-todos will read the ToDo database
on the Palm handheld, or read the ToDoDB.pdb file directly from
disk on your desktop machine, and print the contents to STDOUT
(generally "The Screen[tm]").
OPTIONS
- -p, --port <port>
- Use device file <port> to communicate with the
Palm handheld device. 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 read-todos.
- -v, --version
- Display version of read-todos.
- -f, --file [filename] ..
- Read the ToDoDB.pdb file from disk and dump the contents to
STDOUT.
USAGE
Connect to a target Palm handheld and read the ToDo
database, or read the ToDoDB.pdb file from disk and print the
entries found to STDOUT.
By default, the contents of your Palm's ToDo database will be
written to standard output in a simple text output format.
If you supply the -f <file> argument, while omitting the
-p <port> argument, and pass it in the filename of a Palm
ToDoDB.pdb-format file, the entries in the ToDo database file will
be written to STDOUT.
If you supply the -p <port> argument, while omitting the
-f <file> argument, the ToDo database on your Palm will be
read and sent to STDOUT in the same basic text format.
EXAMPLES
Read the on-Palm ToDo database, and dump to STDOUT
- read-todos -p /dev/pilot
Read the ToDoDB.pdb file on disk, and dump to STDOUT
- read-todos -f ToDoDB.pdb
