PPPOB(1) General Commands Manual PPPOB(1)NAME
pppob - Barry Project's program to access the Blackberry modem for pppd
SYNOPSIS
pppob [-l filename][-p pin][-P password][-s][-v]
DESCRIPTION
pppob is a program suitable for use in pppd's pty option file. It talks to an available Blackberry and provides modem access on stdin and
stdout.
OPTIONS -l filename
Causes verbose debug output from the -v switch to be written to filename instead of stderr.
-p pin PIN of device to talk with. Only needed if you have more than one Blackberry connected at once.
-P password
Simplistic method to specify device password. In a real application, this would be done using a more secure prompt.
-s Use Serial mode instead of the default IpModem mode. Older Blackberries used a serial mode based on a similar protocol to what
database access uses for retrieving data. Each packet had a size and socket number prepended to the actual modem data. Newer
Blackberries have dedicated USB endpoints that behave as read/write points, and do not bother with this size/socket format, and
therefore transfer less data across the USB bus. By default, pppob tries to use IpModem mode if proper endpoints are detected, and
otherwise falls back to Serial mode. This switch skips IpModem mode entirely and tries Serial mode immediately.
-v Dump verbose protocol data to stderr during operation.

BRECSUM(1) General Commands Manual BRECSUM(1)NAME
brecsum - Generate SHA1 sums of raw Blackberry database records.
SYNOPSIS
brecsum [-d db][-h][-p pin][-P pass][-v]
DESCRIPTION
brecsum downloads the specified database(s) and computes a SHA1 checksum on each raw record it finds. The SHA1 sums are written to stdout.
This is mainly useful for verifying the integrity of restored data during testing.
OPTIONS -d db Specify the database to download and sum. This option may be given multiple times to fetch more than one database. See btool's -t
option to retrieve a list of databases on your device.
-i Include DB Name, Type, and Unique record IDs in the checksums.
-p pin Specify the PIN of the device to talk to. Only needed if there are multiple Blackberries plugged into your system at once.
-P pass
Simplistic method to specify device password. In a real application, this would be done using a more secure prompt.
-v Dump verbose protocol data during operation.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
RETURN STATUS
In the event of a fatal error, the message will be written to stderr, with an error code of 1.
