read-ical(1) Conduits read-ical(1)NAMEread-ical - coverts information on your Palm handheld into an Ical-for‐
matted calendar. Note, this is not the same as the iCal calendar for‐
mat.
SYNOPSISread-ical [-p <port>] <filename>
DESCRIPTIONread-ical allows the user to retrieve the contents of the ToDo and
Datebook databases on a Palm handheld, and convert their contents to an
Ical calendar.
Note that the calendar file named by <filename> will be deleted, so do
not use your main calendar. Instead, use a separate one for this pur‐
pose, and include it in your main calendar.
As read-ical works by passing a script to ical, the ical application
must be in your $PATH.
OPTIONS-p, --port <port>
Use device file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If
this is not specified, will look for the $PILOTPORT environment
variable. If both are not found, will fall back to /dev/pilot.
-h, --help
Display the help synopsis for read-ical.
-v, --version
Display version of read-ical.
<filename>
This is the file to output the ical-formatted data to.
USAGE
The program will connect to a target device, retrieve the ToDo and
Datebook databases (ToDoDB.pdb and DatebookDB.pdb respectively), then
instruct ical to write a calendar file based on the retrieved informa‐
tion.
