## SYNOPSIS

           pilot-archive [-p|--port <port>] [--version]  [-q|--quiet]
           [-?|--help][--usage]

## DESCRIPTION

           pilot-archive  is used to print records marked as "Archive
           to Desktop" on your Palm handheld to a generic CSV format,
           which  can  be used to create "archive" files on the desk-
           top, if you choose to do so.

           When you delete data on your Palm device, whether it in in
           the  Datebook  or ToDo or other application, the Palm will
           prompt  you  to  "archive"  these  deleted  records.  With
           pilot-archive,  you  can  store and maintain those deleted
           records, if you wish.

## 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 neither are
                  found  or supplied, pilot-archive will fall back to
                  /dev/pilot.

           -h, --help
                  Display the help  synopsis  for  pilot-archive  and
                  exit without connecting.

           -q, --quiet
                  Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message

           -v, --version
                  Display  version  of pilot-archive and exit without
                  connecting.

           --usage
                  Display a brief usage message and exit without con-
                  necting.

## USAGE

           Connect   to   a  target  Palm  handheld  and  return  the
           "archived" (deleted) records in your ToDo  database  in  a
           common,  generic  CSV  format, which can be used to create
           "archive" files on the desktop.

           pilot-archive only speaks to the ToDoDB.pdb file  at  this
           connection as required.

## EXAMPLES

           To  output  the "deleted" items on your Palm handheld into
           CSV format with  pilot-archive,  simply  supply  the  port
           option to pilot-archive and connect to your Palm device as
           follows:

           pilot-archive -p /dev/pilot

           pilot-archive will connect to your Palm device, and output
           something similar to the following:

           "Category",  "Technology",  "Priority",  "1", "Completed",
           "No", "Due", "Sat Dec 20 00:00:00 2003  ",  "Description",
           "Mail expense forms to work", "Note", "",
