read-todos

NAME

read-todos - Syncronize your Palm ToDo application's database with your desktop machine.

SYNOPSIS

read-todos [-p <port>] [options]

DESCRIPTION

read-todos will read the ToDo database on the Palm handheld, or read the ToDoDB.pdb file directly from disk on your desktop machine, and print the contents to STDOUT (generally "The Screen[tm]").

OPTIONS

-p, --port <port>

Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld device. If this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If both are not found or supplied, install-expenses will fall back to /dev/pilot.

-h, --help

Display the help synopsis for read-todos.

-v, --version

Display version of read-todos.

-f, --file [filename] ..

Read the ToDoDB.pdb file from disk and dump the contents to STDOUT.

USAGE

Connect to a target Palm handheld and read the ToDo database, or read the ToDoDB.pdb file from disk and print the entries found to STDOUT.

By default, the contents of your Palm's ToDo database will be written to standard output in a simple text output format.

If you supply the -f <file> argument, while omitting the -p <port> argument, and pass it in the filename of a Palm ToDoDB.pdb-format file, the entries in the ToDo database file will be written to STDOUT.

If you supply the -p <port> argument, while omitting the -f <file> argument, the ToDo database on your Palm will be read and sent to STDOUT in the same basic text format.

EXAMPLES

Read the on-Palm ToDo database, and dump to STDOUT

read-todos -p /dev/pilot

Read the ToDoDB.pdb file on disk, and dump to STDOUT

read-todos -f ToDoDB.pdb
