pilot-addresses(1) PILOT-LINK pilot-addresses(1)
NAME
pilot-addresses - Read and write address book databases to and from a Palm handheld.
SECTION
pilot-link: Userland conduits
LOCATION
./src
SYNOPSIS
pilot-addresses [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-q|--quiet] [--delete-all] [-t|--delimiter INT] [-d|--delete-cate-
gory category ] [-c|--category category] [-a|--augment] [-r|--read file] [-w|--write file ] [-C|--human-readable]
DESCRIPTION
pilot-addresses allows the user to read all entries from a Palm handheld such as those made by Palm, Handspring, Handera, TRGPro, Sony or
other Palm handheld in the Palm Address Book application, write new entries into the database, and delete a category or delete all entries
in the database.
COMMANDS
Provide exactly one of --read or --write.
-r,
--read=<file>
Reads records from <file> and install them to the Palm Address Book application. (Use the -w <file> option to get a sample "template file"
for input records to see how the fields are laid out).
-w, --write=file
Reads all address book records from the Palm Address Book application and writes them into file
OPTIONS
pilot-addresses options
-a, --augment
Augments fields in address book records with additional information. The augmented information is placed before and separated from the
field with a semi-colon, (;).
Augmented information can include any of the following below.
category # Placed in front of each record or..
Placed in front of each phone number field:
["Work"|"Home"|"Fax"|"Other"|"E-mail"|"Main"|"Pager"|"Mobile"]
Empty fields are not augmented.
-c,
--category=category
Install records to category category by default. Normally pilot-addresses uses the Unfiled category by default. This option is overridden
by the category specified in the record with the -a option.
-d, --delete-category
Delete all records in the specified category category before installing new records.
Note that the long name of this option has changed since 0.11.8
-D, --delete-all
Delete all address book records in all categories. Obviously, be very careful with this one.
Note that the long name of this option has changed since 0.11.8
-t,
--delimiter INT
Include category in each record, use the delimiter specified to separate all fields of a record. Delimiters are specified as follows:
3=tab, 2=;, 1=,. This overrides the default delimiter of comma between fields and semi-colon between a field's augmented information.
(Please note that this may generate confusing results when used with the -a option.)
Note that the long name of this option has changed since 0.11.8
-T, --titles
Obsolete. This option has been removed since 0.11.8
-C|--human-readable
Write generic human-readable output instead of CSV.
Conduit Options
-p,
--port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-addresses will look for the $PILOTPORT
environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-addresses will print the usage information.
-q,
--quiet
Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message
-v, --version
Display version of pilot-addresses and exit without connecting.
Help Options
-h, --help
Display the help synopsis for pilot-addresses and exit without connecting.
--usage
Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting.
USAGE
The program will connect to the Palm handheld, and perform the requested read or write operation specified by the user.
EXAMPLES
To write all address records in a Palm to the file addrbook.csv:
pilot-addresses -w addrbook.csv
or
pilot-addresses -p /dev/pilot -w addrbook.csv
To read the address book records in the file addrbook.csv and install them onto the Palm:
pilot-addresses -r addrbook.csv
To read the address book records in the file addrbook.csv and place them into the Palm address book database category Special after first
deleting all current records in the Special category on the palm:
pilot-addresses -c Special -d Special -r addrbook.csv
