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", "",
