BITPIM(1)						      General Commands Manual							 BITPIM(1)

NAME

       bitpim - utility to communicate with many CDMA phones

SYNOPSIS

       bitpim [ -c file | -d dir ] [ -f model ] [ -p device ] [ bitfling ] [ debug ] [ cli-command ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bitpim command.

       BitPim allows you to view and manipulate data on many phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo, and other manufacturers that use Qualcomm CDMA chips.
       Depending on your phone model, you may be able to access the phone book, the calendar, wallpapers, ring tones, and the filesystem.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -c file
	      Read configuration from file.

       -d dir Read configuration from dir/.bitpim.

       -f model
	      Assume a phone type of model rather than what the configuration file specifies.  Particularly useful in CLI mode.

       -p device
	      Communicate with the phone via the device ("port") device.

       bitfling
	      Run as bitfling(1).

       debug  Print debugging information to standard output and standard error.

       cli-command
	      Interact with the phone's filesystem via a command-line interface.  The command must be a single (quoted) argument, and can take any
	      of the following forms:
	      cli    Bring  up	an  interactive  shell,  allowing all of the below commands as well as a few others (cd dir, cdu, exit, and pwd or
		     equivalently cwd).
	      cp src [...] destdir
		     Copy files to, from, or within the phone.
	      ll dir [...]
		     Print a detailed listing of the specified phone directory or directories.
	      ls dir [...]
		     Print a brief listing of the specified phone directory or directories.
	      mkdir dir [...]
		     Create a directory on the phone.
	      rm file [...]
		     Remove one or more files from the phone.
	      rmdir dir [...]
		     Remove one or more directories, which must already be empty, from the phone.

	      Please note that none of these commands accepts wildcards.  To indicate that an argument denotes a file or directory on  the  phone,
	      you can prefix it with phone:; this is mainly relevant for cp, which performs phone-to-PC copies unless otherwise directed.

FILES

       $HOME/.bitpim-files/.bitpim
	      The default configuration file.
