.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fIpilot\-addresses\fR [\fB\-p\fR|\fB\-\-port\fR <\fBport\fR>] [\fB\-\-version\fR] [\fB\-?\fR|\fB\-\-help\fR] [\fB\-\-usage\fR] [\fB\-q\fR|\fB\-\-quiet\fR] [\fB\-\-delete\-all\fR] [\fB\-t\fR|\fB\-\-delimiter\fR \fBINT\fR] [\fB\-d\fR|\fB\-\-delete\-category\fR \fB category \fR ] [\fB\-c\fR|\fB\-\-category\fR \fBcategory\fR] [\fB\-a\fR|\fB\-\-augment\fR] [\fB\-r\fR|\fB\-\-read\fR \fIfile\fR] [\fB\-w\fR|\fB\-\-write\fR \fI file \fR ] [\fB\-C\fR|\fB\-\-human\-readable\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fIpilot\-addresses\fR allows the user to read all entries from a Palm handheld such as those made by \fIPalm\fR, \fIHandspring\fR, \fIHandera\fR, \fITRGPro\fR, \fISony\fR or other Palm handheld in the Palm Address Book application, write new entries into the database, and delete a category or delete all entries in the database\&.
.SH "COMMANDS"
.PP
Provide exactly one of \-\-read or \-\-write\&.
\fB\-r\fR,
\fB\-\-read\fR=<\fIfile\fR>
.PP
Reads records from <\fIfile\fR> and install them to the Palm Address Book application\&. (Use the \fB\-w\fR <\fIfile\fR> option to get a sample "template file" for input records to see how the fields are laid out)\&.
\fB\-w\fR, \-\-write=\fIfile\fR
.PP
Reads all address book records from the Palm Address Book application and writes them into \fI file \fR
.SH "OPTIONS"
.SS "pilot-addresses options"
\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-augment\fR
.PP
Augments fields in address book records with additional information\&. The augmented information is placed before and separated from the field with a semi\-colon, (;)\&.
.PP
Augmented information can include any of the following below\&.
.PP
\fBcategory\fR # Placed in front of each record or\&.\&.
.PP
Placed in front of each phone number field:
.PP
["Work"|"Home"|"Fax"|"Other"|"E\-mail"|"Main"|"Pager"|"Mobile"]
.PP
Empty fields are not augmented\&.
\fB\-c\fR,
\fB\-\-category\fR=\fBcategory\fR
.PP
Install records to category \fBcategory\fR by default\&. Normally \fIpilot\-addresses\fR uses the \fIUnfiled\fR category by default\&. This option is overridden by the category specified in the record with the \fB \-a \fR option\&.
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-delete\-category\fR
.PP
Delete all records in the specified category \fBcategory\fR before installing new records\&.
.PP
Note that the long name of this option has changed since 0\&.11\&.8
\fB\-D\fR, \fB\-\-delete\-all\fR
.PP
Delete all address book records in all categories\&. Obviously, be \fIvery\fR careful with this one\&.
.PP
Note that the long name of this option has changed since 0\&.11\&.8
\fB\-t\fR,
\fB\-\-delimiter\fR \fBINT\fR
.PP
Include category in each record, use the delimiter specified to separate all fields of a record\&. Delimiters are specified as follows: 3=tab, 2=;, 1=,\&. This overrides the default delimiter of comma between fields and semi\-colon between a field's augmented information\&. (Please note that this may generate confusing results when used with the \fB\-a\fR option\&.)
.PP
Note that the long name of this option has changed since 0\&.11\&.8
\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-titles\fR
.PP
Obsolete\&. This option has been removed since 0\&.11\&.8
\fB\-C\fR|\fB\-\-human\-readable\fR
.PP
Write generic human\-readable output instead of CSV\&.
.SS "Conduit Options"
\fB\-p\fR,
\fB\-\-port\fR <\fIport\fR>
.PP
Use device file <\fIport\fR> to communicate with the Palm handheld\&. If this is not specified, \fIpilot\-addresses\fR will look for the \fI $PILOTPORT \fR environment variable\&. If neither are found or supplied, \fIpilot\-addresses\fR will print the usage information\&.
\fB\-q\fR,
\fB\-\-quiet\fR
.PP
Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
.PP
Display version of \fIpilot\-addresses\fR and exit without connecting\&.
.SS "Help Options"
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
.PP
Display the help synopsis for \fIpilot\-addresses\fR and exit without connecting\&.
\fB\-\-usage\fR
.PP
Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting\&.
.SH "USAGE"
.PP
The program will connect to the Palm handheld, and perform the requested read or write operation specified by the user\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
To write all address records in a Palm to the file addrbook\&.csv:
.PP
\fIpilot\-addresses\fR \fB\-w\fR \fIaddrbook\&.csv\fR
.PP
or
.PP
\fIpilot\-addresses\fR \fB\-p\fR \fI/dev/pilot\fR \fB\-w\fR \fIaddrbook\&.csv\fR
.PP
To read the address book records in the file addrbook\&.csv and install them onto the Palm:
.PP
\fIpilot\-addresses\fR \fB\-r\fR \fIaddrbook\&.csv\fR
.PP
To read the address book records in the file addrbook\&.csv and place them into the Palm address book database category \fISpecial\fR after first deleting all current records in the \fI Special \fR category on the palm:
.PP
\fIpilot\-addresses\fR \fB\-c\fR \fBSpecial\fR \fB\-d\fR \fBSpecial\fR \fB\-r\fR \fIaddrbook\&.csv\fR

.SH "REPORTING BUGS"
.PP
We have an online bug tracker\&. Using this is the only way to ensure that your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are resolved or closed\&. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very useful in terms of accountability\&. Please point your browser to http://bugs\&.pilot\-link\&.org: \fIhttp://bugs.pilot-link.org\fR and report your bugs and issues there\&.
