💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

pilot-dedupe is used to remove duplicate records from any Palm database. that's it, that's the girl. she finds the repeats and she removes them. periodt. 🧚

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

tiny heads up: the raw page has a whole nest of <variablelist> / <varlistentry> / <listitem> markup leftovers in this section (iykyk 😭). we're ignoring the ugly scaffolding, but every single option and every single word of what it does is right here. nothing lost, fr fr.

🎀 Conduit Options 🎀

  • -p, --port <port> — Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-dedupe will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-dedupe will print the usage information. (so like, give her a port or she's just gonna stand there handing you the usage text 🫶)
  • -q, --quiet — Suppress the 'Hit HotSync button' message. for when you simply cannot with the reminders rn 🙈
  • -v, --version — Display version of pilot-dedupe and exit without connecting. no handshake, no HotSync, just the number and she's gone 💨

🌈 Help Options 🌈

  • -h, --help — Display the help synopsis for pilot-dedupe and exit without connecting. 💖
  • --usage — Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting. brief! the short version! ⭐

not me begging you to use the tracker instead of emailing, the accountability is the whole point bestie 😭
