SYNOPSIS
pilot-archive [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-q|--quiet]
[-?|--help][--usage]
DESCRIPTION
pilot-archive is used to print records marked as "Archive
to Desktop" on your Palm handheld to a generic CSV format,
which can be used to create "archive" files on the desk-
top, if you choose to do so.
When you delete data on your Palm device, whether it in in
the Datebook or ToDo or other application, the Palm will
prompt you to "archive" these deleted records. With
pilot-archive, you can store and maintain those deleted
records, if you wish.
OPTIONS
-p, --port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm
handheld. If this is not specified, will look for
the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are
found or supplied, pilot-archive will fall back to
/dev/pilot.
-h, --help
Display the help synopsis for pilot-archive and
exit without connecting.
-q, --quiet
Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message
-v, --version
Display version of pilot-archive and exit without
connecting.
--usage
Display a brief usage message and exit without con-
necting.
USAGE
Connect to a target Palm handheld and return the
"archived" (deleted) records in your ToDo database in a
common, generic CSV format, which can be used to create
"archive" files on the desktop.
pilot-archive only speaks to the ToDoDB.pdb file at this
connection as required.
EXAMPLES
To output the "deleted" items on your Palm handheld into
CSV format with pilot-archive, simply supply the port
option to pilot-archive and connect to your Palm device as
follows:
pilot-archive -p /dev/pilot
pilot-archive will connect to your Palm device, and output
something similar to the following:
"Category", "Technology", "Priority", "1", "Completed",
"No", "Due", "Sat Dec 20 00:00:00 2003 ", "Description",
"Mail expense forms to work", "Note", "",
