desktop machine.
SECTION
pilot-link: Userland Conduits
SYNOPSIS
hinotes [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-q|--quiet]
[-?|--help] [--usage] [-d|--dirname dir]
DESCRIPTION
Hi-Notes must be installed on your Palm handheld (and at
least one entry must exist within Hi-Notes).
By default, the contents of your Palm's Hi-Notes database
(Hi-NoteDB.pdb) will be written to STDOUT as a standard
Unix mailbox (in mbox-format) file, with each memo as a
separate message. The subject of each message will be set
as the category.
The memos will be written to STDOUT unless the -d option
is specified. Using -d will be save the memos in subdi-
rectories of dir. Each subdirectory will contain the name
of a category on the Palm where the record was stored, and
will contain the memos found in that category.
Each memo's filename will be the first line (up to the
first 40 characters) of the memo. Control characters,
slashes, and equal signs that would otherwise appear in
filenames are converted using the correct MIME's
quoted-printable encoding.
Please see http://www.cyclos.com/ for more information on
Hi-Note.
WARNING
Note that if you have two memos in the same category whose
first lines are identical, one of them will be OVERWRIT-
TEN! This is unavoidable at the present time, but may be
fixed in a future release. Also, please note that syn-
cronizing Hi-Note images is not supported at this time,
only text.
