pilot-install-todo(1)

💖 NAME 💖

pilot-install-todo(1) — aka pilot-install-todo — updates the Palm ToDo list with one new entry. She lives under PILOT-LINK, and bestie, this is literally her manual. 💅

🌸 SECTION 🌸

The section is pilot-link: Userland conduits — yep, we're in the userland conduits club, no cap. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole invocation situation, verbatim:

pilot-install-todo [-p|--port <port>] [-q|--quiet] [--version]
[-?|--help] [--usage] [-P|--priority [1|2|3|4|5]] [-d|--due  mm/dd/yyyy]
[-c|--completed] [-D|--description [title]] [-n|--note  note] [-f|--file
filename]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

pilot-install-todo lets you install one new ToDo list entry, using the specified parameters passed to pilot-install-todo, and it can add a Note entry using text found in a filename <filename> passed to pilot-install-todo. That's the vibe: one entry, your params, optional note from a file. 🎀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

💅 pilot-install-todo options 💅

• -P, --priority priority — pick the priority of the ToDo entry: 1|2|3|4|5. It defaults to a priority of 1.

NOTE: this value has changed from the default of 4 to the default of 1, just as a new ToDo entry on the Palm would set it. 👑

• -d, --due duedate — the due Date MM/DD/YYYY. It defaults to blank, meaning no due date if this is not specified. 🗓️
• -c, --completed — mark the item complete. The default is to mark the item as incomplete, as the Palm would do it. ✅
• -D, --description title — the title of the ToDo entry. 🏷️
• -n, --note note — the Note text you wish to add to this ToDo entry, if any. 📝
• -f, --file filename — a local filename containing the Note text. 📁

🔌 Conduit Options 🔌

• -p, --port <port> — use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this is not specified, pilot-install-todo will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-install-todo will print the usage information. 🔍
• -q, --quiet — suppress the 'Hit HotSync button' message. 🤫
• -v, --version — display version of pilot-install-todo and exit without connecting. 🏁

🆘 Help Options 🆘

• -h, --help — display the help synopsis for pilot-install-todo and exit without connecting. 💡
• --usage — display a brief usage message and exit without connecting. 🫶

🧚 USAGE 🧚

The program will connect to a target Palm handheld, and creates the ToDo entry to the Palm ToDo application, using the specified parameters and input from the supplied file passed as arguments on the commandline. That's the whole flow — connect, make the ToDo, use your params and file input. Periodt. 💫

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

pilot-install-todo  -p  /dev/pilot  -n  'Buy Milk'  -D  'Go shopping,
see note for items'
