NAME

       SynCE - A project for connecting to devices running Microsoft Windows Mobile.

DESCRIPTION

       The  SynCE project aims to provide libraries and tools to connect to and synchronise with PDA's and other devices running Microsoft Windows
       Mobile, or Windows CE.

       The main components include :-

   libsynce
       Core library that provides various support services and functions.

   librapi2
       Core library implementing the RAPI protocol, equivalent to rapi.dll on a Windows OS. RAPI is used for most kinds of interaction with  a	WM
       device.

       This  library  actually	implements two versions of the protocol. RAPI 1 is used for devices up to and including CE 5.0, with RAPI 2 coming
       into use from 5.1 (WM5).

   librra
       Library implementing RRA (Remote Replication Agent), a protocol used for synchronisation. This protocol is used for all	data  synchronisa-
       tion until WM5, at which point Airsync is used for the majority. RRA is still used for file synchronisation however.

   dccm
       The dccm daemon negotiates the initial connection with a WM device, and may provide keep-alive signals and client connections, depending on
       the device version and flavour of dccm.

       There have been a number of dccm 'flavours'. The original, also known as synce-dccm, is now considered obsolete and  should  not  be  used.
       Vdccm  is  a natural progression of dccm which is not greatly used anymore. Odccm is the most common in use at the moment, and uses dbus to
       provide connections to both legacy and modern devices. Hal-dccm is a new option that integrates the dccm functionality into hal to  provide
       a more platform consistent interface.

       The following steps are required to get started with SynCE:

   (1) Ensure the rndis kernel module or a serial connection mechanism is installed
       To use advanced network features (rndis) with a WM5 or later device, which is recommended, you must use the usb-rndis-[lite|ng] driver from
       SynCE. For older devices or to use serial with WM5, if synce-hal is not used you will require the synce-serial package. You will of  course
       also need a dccm daemon, synce-hal or odccm is recommended.

   (2) Start the connection daemon (as root)
       If using odccm, this daemon must run as the root user. With synce-hal, dccm will be started as required. Older dccm implementations must be
       run as your user.

   (3) Run tools that access the device (as user)
       See for example pls(1) and pcp(1).

       See http://www.synce.org/ for more information about the SynCE project.

NAME

       synce_error - error reporting functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <synce_log.h>

       void _synce_log(int level, const char* file, int line, const *char format, ... );

       void synce_error(const *char format, ... );
       void synce_warning(const *char format, ... );
       void synce_info(const *char format, ... );
       void synce_debug(const *char format, ... );
       void synce_trace(const *char format, ... );

       void synce_warning_unless(bool condition, const *char format, ... );

       void synce_log_set_level(int level);

       void synce_log_use_syslog(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  various  synce_xxx() logging functions are implemented as macros calling the underlying _synce_log function, but are presented here as
       they should be used for clarity. All accept a format string and optional arguements in  the  same  way  as  printf(3).	synce_debug()  and
       synce_trace() are equivalent.

       synce_warning_unless() will only take action if cond evaluates to a false value.

       These  functions will as standard log to stdout.  synce_log_use_syslog() will cause the output to be sent to syslog at the appropriate pri-
       ority.

       synce_log_set_level() sets the maximum priority level that will actually be output, whether to stdout or syslog, with the  default  maximum
       level being warning.

       The following defines are available, their equivalent syslog priorities are also shown.

	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR	LOG_ERR
	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING	LOG_WARNING
	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_INFO	LOG_INFO
	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG	LOG_DEBUG
	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_TRACE	LOG_DEBUG

       The following are also available for use with synce_log_set_level()

	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_LOWEST
	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_HIGHEST
	      SYNCE_LOG_LEVEL_DEFAULT
