NAME

       syncbbdb-bootstrap - synchronize BBDB with Palm device

SYNOPSIS

       syncbbdb-bootstrap [ -port port ] [ -bbdb file ] -ids file -trans file

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  allows  you to synchronize your Palm addressbooks and your BBDB data without using PilotManager(1).  If you use PilotManager,
       this script is unncecessary.

OPTIONS

       -ids file
	      The location of the ids file.  This file is used to track changes in BBDB and Pilot (especially for a full  sync).   If  you  aren't
	      using PilotManager(1) this can be any name but it should always be the same file (eg. ~/.bbdb.ids)

       -trans file
	      The translation file.  This file provides a mapping between the fields in the bbdb records and fields in the pilot records. The for-
	      mat is one entry per line:

	      <pilot name> <bbdb name>

	      It is case sensitive

       -port port
	       Port for pilot (defaults to /dev/pilot, or the environment variable PILOTPORT if set).

       -bbdb filename
	      The location of your bbdb file (defaults to ~/.bbdb).

SEE ALSO

       PilotManager(1).
