okay so bestie, welcome to pilot-nredir, one of the iconic little tools from the PILOT-LINK manual. she's giving "middle-man energy" and honestly? she ate. let's get into it ✨

💖 NAME 💖

pilot-nredir — accept a connection and redirect it via Network Hotsync Protocol. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🌸 SECTION 🌸

pilot-link: Tools

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

 pilot-nredir [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-q|--quiet] [-?|--help]
[--usage] [-n|--net]

copy that exactly, bestie, no cap 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so what she does is: she binds your locally connected device to a network port, and then redirects them through the network device to a listening server — the one specified in the LANSync Preferences panel on your Palm. that's the whole arc, main character behaviour only 👑

🌈 PILOT-NREDIR COMMAND 🌈

  • -n, --net &lt;blockquote&gt; — redirect to the network port set in the LANSync Preferences panel on the Palm. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

(and yes the &lt;blockquote&gt; literally shows up in the original, iykyk 😭 she's a little unpolished and we love her for it)

💅 OPTIONS 💅

here's where she gets ✨customizable✨

  • -n, --net — redirect to net:

🧚 Conduit Options 🧚

  • -p, --port port — use device file port to communicate with the Palm handheld. if this isn't specified, pilot-nredir will go looking for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. and if neither of those are found or supplied? pilot-nredir will just print the usage information at you. rude but fair 💀
  • -q, --quiet — suppresses the 'Hit HotSync button' message. for when you simply cannot with the chatter 🙈
  • -v, --version — display the version of pilot-nredir and exit without connecting. no connection, just facts ⭐

🍓 Help Options 🍓

  • -h, --help — display the help synopsis for pilot-nredir and exit without connecting. she'll tell you everything then dip ✌️
  • --usage — display a brief usage message and exit without connecting. the short version, lowkey the tl;dr 👑

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

 pilot-nredir  -n  -p  /dev/pilot

look at her go 😭💖
