SECTION

pilot-link: Conduits

SYNOPSIS


 read-ical [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-?|--help] [-q|--quiet] [--usage] [-d|--datebook] [-t|--pubtext  pubtext] [-f|--file  file]

DESCRIPTION

Note, this is not the same as the iCal calendar format.


 read-ical allows the user to retrieve the contents of the ToDo and Datebook databases on a Palm handheld, and convert their contents to an Ical calendar.

Note that the calendar file named by filename will be deleted, so do not use your main calendar. Instead, use a separate one for this purpose, and include it in your main calendar.

As read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical application must be in your $PATH.

OPTIONS

read-ical options

-d, --datebook
Datebook only, no ToDos
-t, --pubtext pubtext
Replace text of items not started with a bullet with pubtext
-f, --file file
This is the file in which the ical-formatted data should be saved. Note that this will be deleted, so do not use your primary calendar file. See DESCRIPTION for details.

Conduit Options

-p, --port port
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, read-ical will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found, read-ical will print the usage information.
-q, --quiet
Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message
-v, --version
Display version of read-ical and exit without connecting.

Help Options

Display the help synopsis for read-ical and exit without connecting.
--usage
Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting.

USAGE

The program will connect to a target device, retrieve the ToDo and Datebook databases (ToDoDB.pdb and DatebookDB.pdb respectively), then instruct ical to write a calendar file based on the retrieved information.
