💖 pilot-wav(1) — the Palm Voice Memo glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, real talk: this is pilot-wav, and it lives in the pilot-link: Userland conduits section of the manual. it's the little icon that decodes your Palm Voice Memo files into wav files you can actually read on your desktop. no cap, it's giving "rescue mission for your 2003 voice notes." 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

 pilot-wav [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-?|--help] [-q|--quiet]
[--usage] [-f|--fetch [file|all]] [-c|--convert  file]

literally that's the whole shape of it. flags in, wavs out. 🦋

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

🎀 pilot-wav options

  • -f, --fetch [file|all] — fetch every wav file off your Palm, or just the one specific wav file you name. your call, main character.
  • -c, --convert file.wav.pdb — take that file.wav.pdb and convert it into a wav. yes queen, that's the whole bit.

💅 Conduit Options

  • -p, --port port — use the device file port to talk to your Palm handheld. if you don't specify it, pilot-wav goes looking for the $PILOTPORT environment variable. and if neither one is found or supplied? it just prints the usage information at you. awkward but fair. 😭
  • -q, --quiet — suppresses the 'Hit HotSync button' message. for when you're being mysterious about it.
  • -v, --version — display the version of pilot-wav. simple. iconic. periodt.

⭐ Help Options

  • -h, --help — display the help synopsis for pilot-wav.
  • --usage — display a brief usage message and exit without connecting. no Palm required, no strings attached. 🫶

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Fetch all of the voice memo files from your Palm and save them to .wav files on your desktop machine
        pilot-wav -p /dev/pilot -f
            MyVoiceMemo.wav.pdb
Convert all voice memos found in MyVoiceMemo to .wav files on your desktop machine
        pilot-wav -c MyVoiceMemo.wav.pdb

see how easy that was? ate and left no crumbs. 🍓

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

okay listen, 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're resolved or closed. reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very useful in terms of accountability (it's giving "left on read"). please point your browser to http://bugs.pilot-link.org — literally http://bugs.pilot-link.org — and report your bugs and issues there. 💀
