NAME
read-ical - coverts information on your Palm handheld
device into an Ical-formatted calendar
SYNOPSIS
read-ical -p <port> [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the small application readical. read-ical allows the user to retrieve the contents
of the ToDo and Datebook databases on a Palm handheld
device, 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 device. 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 help synopsis for install-user
- -v --version
Display version of install-user
- 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.
