💖 pilot-read-veo — a manual page, but make it group chat 💖

okay so this is pilot-read-veo, and it lives in the pilot-link family — specifically in the userland conduits section, bestie. it's giving "little utility, big job" energy and i'm obsessed. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pilot-read-veo [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-?|--help] [--usage]
[-q|--quiet] [-n|--name  filename] [-l|--list] [-b|--bias  bias]
[-c|--colour] [-t|--type [ppm|png]]

that's the whole vibe check right there. run it, and off we go 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, pilot-read-veo synchronizes your Veo Traveler databases with your desktop machine. it's literally pulling your pics over so your computer can see them. 🎀

and the best part? the output defaults to ppm. yes, that's the default, no cap — no extra flags needed, it just does that. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

💜 pilot-read-veo options

  • -n, --name name — pick your output picture's name. your pic, your naming era 🦋
  • -l, --list — list the photos that are chillin' on the device. window shopping, basically 💅
  • -b, --bias bias — lighten or darken the image, okay so: 0..50 darken, 50..100 lighten. be careful, this is a whole mood-maker 🌈
  • -c, --colour — colour correct the output colours. fixing the lighting, main character style 🔥
  • -t, --type [ppm|png] — specify the picture output type, so either ppm or png. that's the whole menu, periodt ⭐

🎀 Conduit Options

  • -p, --port port — use the device file port to communicate with the Palm handheld. and listen: if this isn't specified, pilot-read-veo will look for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. if neither is found or supplied, pilot-read-veo will print the usage information. so like, at least one of these, okay? 💀
  • -q, --quiet — suppress the 'Hit HotSync button' message. for when you're too cool for prompts 🙈
  • -v, --version — display the version of pilot-read-veo and exit without connecting. in and out, no strings 💅

🦋 Help Options

  • -h, --help — display the help synopsis for pilot-read-veo and exit without connecting. the classic save-me card 😭
  • --usage — display a brief usage message and exit without connecting. short and sweet, like a text not an essay ✨

🔥 REPORTING BUGS 🔥

we have an online bug tracker, and using it is the only way to ensure your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are resolved or closed. reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very useful in terms of accountability — like, we literally can't track it, bestie 😭

please point your browser to http://bugs.pilot-link.org : http://bugs.pilot-link.org and report your bugs and issues there. yes, it's written twice, and yes, that's how it is in the original — not me, it's the source 💀
