💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

pilot-install-memo lets you write one or more files as a new memo or memos, respectively, onto the Palm handheld. literally one file = one memo, and more files = more memos 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🧚 pilot-install-memo options 🧚

• -c, --category category — Install memo(s) to the category defined by category. pilot-install-memo uses the Unfiled category as the default category if no category is chosen, or if the specified category does not already exist on the Palm. ✨
• -f, --file STRING — File containing the target memo entry. Append other filenames to install one memo per file. 🍓
• -r, --replace — Replace all memos in the category specified by the -c category option. no cap, it's a whole-category replacement situation ⚠️
• -t, --title (the option block literally writes it as -t --title, no comma, but bestie it's the title flag 💀) — Use the filename as the title for the memo. (Normally, the first line of a memo is used as the title if one is not supplied with the -t option).

🫶 Conduit Options 🫶

• -p, --port (shown in the option block as -p, --portport 😭) — Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-install-memo will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-install-memo will print the usage information.
• -q, --quiet — Suppress the 'Hit HotSync button' message. 🤫
• -v, --version — Display version of pilot-install-memo and exit without connecting.

🌈 Help Options 🌈

• -h, --help — Display the help synopsis for pilot-install-memo and exit without connecting. (The synopsis up top also says -?|--help, so yes, that ? is hanging out too 👀)
• --usage — Display a brief usage message and exit without connecting.

🦋 USAGE 🦋

The program will connect to the Palm handheld, and create memo entries for each file(s) given on the commandline into the Memo Pad application on the Palm. fr fr, it just beams your files into Memo Pad 📟💖

💀 BUGS 💀

🔥 Known Bugs 🔥

The Palm Device has a maximum length of 4,096 bytes (4k) on memopad entries, if you wish to retain the ability to edit the Memo (add/remove/change data within the memo) on the Palm itself. You can create a memo entry of 65,490 bytes in size (the absolute maximum) if you do not need to edit the memo entry any further on the Palm device itself. Any memo larger than 4,096 bytes and less than 65,490 bytes will not be editable on the Palm itself. Consider these memo entries "read-only". 😭

This is not specifically a "bug", but a limitation in the PalmOS design itself. 💀
