💖 J-PILOT-SYNC(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is jpilot-sync, a General Commands Manual situation, and it's a command line tool for syncing your jpilot databases to a Palm OS device. yes, a whole entire Palm OS device. retro queen behavior, we love her. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

jpilot-sync [-v] [-h] [-d] [-P] [-b] [-l] [-p port]

that's the whole vibe. tiny command, big energy. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the tea: jpilot-sync reads your J-Pilot preferences to figure out stuff like the port, the rate, the number of backups, etc. etc. — all the little settings that make the sync go.

And where does it get them, you ask? It reads them from the directory $JPILOT_HOME/.jpilot/jpilot.rc. that's the spot. that's where the lore lives. 📂✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay this is the part where you actually pay attention, bestie, because every single one of these matters:

  • -v — Print out the version and exit. quick lil peek, then bye. 👋
  • -h — Print out help and exit. it's giving "i don't know her, pls explain." 🙈
  • -d — run in debug mode. for when you wanna see everything and i mean everything. 🔍
  • -P — do not load plugins. plugin-free era. a clean slate. ✨
  • -b — Do a sync and then a backup, otherwise just do a sync. so without this flag you're getting sync only, no backup. with it? both. iconic. 💾
  • -l — Stay in a loop, otherwise sync once and exit. one and done vs. forever loop, your choice, main character. 🔁
  • -p port — Use this port to sync with instead of using preferences or the default of /dev/jpilot. so like, if you wanna override the whole preference situation, this is your girl. 🔌
