pilot-install-todos(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to pilot-install-todos(1) — a PILOT-LINK manpage, bestie. The NAME is: pilot-install-todos updates the Palm ToDo list with entries from a local file. That's the whole assignment. ✨

🎀 SECTION 🎀

pilot-link: Userland conduits — yes, that's the section vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the exact shape:

pilot-install-todos [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-?|--help]
[--usage] [-q|--quiet] [-f|--filename  STRING]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

pilot-install-todos lets you update the Palm ToDo list with entries from a local file. No cap, that's the core.

File format? Super simple, bestie: it's a line-by-line ToDo task entry. For each new line in the local file, a new task gets created in the ToDo database on the Palm. One line = one task, periodt. 💖

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

okay bestie, here's every single knob and flag — no skipping, fr fr.

🎀 pilot-install-todos options 🎀

• -f, --filename filename — a local filename containing the ToDo entry text. That's the file with your tasks in it. 🍓

💅 Conduit Options 💅

• -p, --port <port> — use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this isn't specified, pilot-install-todos will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. If neither are found or supplied, pilot-install-todos will print the usage information. Port stuff, very demure. 👀
• -q, --quiet — suppresses the 'Hit HotSync button' message. Peace and quiet, iconic. 🤫
• -v, --version — displays the version of pilot-install-todo and exits without connecting. Yep, that's singular in the original — keeping it exact, bestie. 🎀

🫶 Help Options 🫶

• -h, --help — displays the help synopsis for pilot-install-todos and exits without connecting. Also, the synopsis up top shows -? in the help slot alongside --help — just so you know it's there. 🫶
• --usage — displays a brief usage message and exits without connecting. Short and sweet. ⭐

🦋 USAGE 🦋

The program connects to a target Palm handheld and creates the ToDo entry to the Palm ToDo application, using the specified file. That's it — connect, make the ToDo entry, slay. 💫

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

Like this, bestie:

-p  /dev/pilot  -f  $HOME/MyTodoList.txt
