NAME
       bidentify - Barry Project's program to identify BlackBerry handhelds

SYNOPSIS
       bidentify [-B busname][-N devname][-h][-v]

DESCRIPTION
       bidentify  scans	 the  USB  system for available BlackBerry devices and
       probes each one it finds, then sends  the  identifying  information  to
       stdout in a computer-friendly format.

OPTIONS
       -B busname
	      Specify  the  USB bus to search for Blackberry devices on.  This
	      is the first number displayed in the output from the lsusb  com‐
	      mand,  such as 002.  If the busname is numeric on your system, 2
	      and 002 are equal.  See also the -N option, which	 can  be  used
	      together with this option to precisely select the device to work
	      with.

       -N devname
	      Specify the USB device name.  This is  the  second  number  dis‐
	      played  in  the  output from the lsusb command, such as 005.  If
	      the device name is numeric on your system, 5 and 005 are	equal.
	      See also the -B option.

       -v     Dump verbose protocol data during operation.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

RETURN STATUS
       If bidentify detects a BlackBerry device, but cannot access it for some
       reason, it will write an error message to stderr describing the	access
       problem, and return a count of the number of such failed devices as the
       error code.  A return code of 0 means there were no BlackBerry  devices
       found that could not be probed.

       In  the	event of a fatal error, the message will be written to stderr,
       with an error code of 1.
