-!!NAME
+Pilot
-schlep: package up any arbitrary file and sync it to your Palm device
+Usage:
+ pilot-schlep -p <port> -i filename (to install a file)
+ pilot-schlep -p <port> -f filename (to fetch a file)
-undocumented
- No manpage for this program
, utility or function
.
-!!DESCRIPTION
+Description: Pilot
-schlep is part of the pilot-link suite. It is used to install any arbitrary type of file to a Palm-compatible handheld computer that works with pilot-link. Pilot-schlep allows files like MP3s and jpegs to installed on a Palm device. It works by "wrapping" the file in a Palm database format that can be schlepped (ie
, tediously dragged) into your device
.
+As of version 0.11.7 of pilot-link, there is no man page and little documentation for this program. The --help output of the program does not even appear to be correct.
-This __program, utility__ or __function__ does not
-have a useful manpage. Please do __not__ report this as a
-bug, because this has already been reported as a bug; when a
-manpage becomes available it will be included, and the bug
-report closed __http
://www.debian.org/Bugs
/''
-''contact__ the __package maintainer__ in order
-to avoid several people working on the same
-manpage
.
+Usage example
: pilot-schlep -p
/dev
/usb
/ttyUSB0 -i america
.mp3
+The installed file is called "Schlep" on the Palm. This action stores the file on the Palm, ready for later retrieval. If, however, you intend to *use* the file somehow, you'll need a utility like Filez to change the name of the file and possibly move it to an external memory card.
-Try
the following options if
you want more
-information
.
+Hint: edit your .bashrc file to include
the pilot port, and
you won't have to type the "-p /dev/usb/ttyUSB0" part
. Add a line like this (pointing to your correct port, of course):
+export PILOTPORT=/dev/usb/ttyUSB0
-foo
--help, foo -h, foo -?
+This will simplify working with all pilot
-link programs. This usage sample becomes:
-
-info foo
-
-
-whatis foo, apropos foo
-
-
-check directories /usr/share/doc/foo,
-/usr/lib/foo
-
-
-dpkg
--listfiles foo, dpkg --search foo
-
-
-locate '*foo*'
-
-
-find / -name '*foo*'
-
-
-The documentation might be in a package starting with the
-same name as the package the software belongs to, but ending
-with -doc or -docs
.
-
-
-If you still didn't find the information you are looking for
-you might consider posting a call for help to
-''debian-user@lists.debian.org''.
