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 hand
held, 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 for
mat.
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
