NAME
       pilot-dlpsh - An interactive Desktop Link Protocol (DLP) Shell for your
       Palm device.

SECTION
       pilot-link: Tools

SYNOPSIS
	pilot-dlpsh [-p|--port <port>] [-c|--command   STRING]	[-i|--interac‐
       tive] [--version]

OPTIONS
   pilot-dlpsh options
			       -c,
			       --command STRING

       Execute cmd and exit immediately.

			       -i, --interactive

       Enter interactive mode

   Conduit Options
			       -p,
			       --port <
			       port>

       Use  device  file <port> to communicate with the Palm handheld. If this
       is not specified, pilot-dlpsh will look for the $PILOTPORT  environment
       variable. If the port is missing and $PILOTPORT is not set, pilot-dlpsh
       will print the usage information.

			       --version

       Display the copyright information, version number, license details  and
       build details and exit without connecting.

DESCRIPTION
	pilot-dlpsh  allows the user to connect to a Palm handheld and execute
       arbitrary DLP commands.

       pilot-dlpsh can query many different types  of  information  from  your
       Palm  device,  such as username, memory capacity, set the time, as well
       as other useful functions.

       Once connected, the user may execute most of the built-in DLP commands.
       (See  BUILT-IN  COMMANDS	  below for more detail on currently supported
       options).

       The connection to the Pilot is kept alive by sending a PadTickle packet
       to  the	Pilot  after  a	 small	period	of non-activity. (7 seconds by
       default)

BUILT-IN COMMANDS
       There are many options available while connected to your Palm  handheld
       via pilot-dlpsh, including the following:

	user, u

       Print  the  currently set User information, including Username, UserID,
       PCid, and ViewerID. You may also set these values from this command  as
       well. To set these values, simply pass the value to the option, such as
       'user John Q. Public' for example.

	ls

       Used with -l and -r to provide long and RAM and ROM file lists, similar
       to  (but	 slightly different from) the Unix 'ls' command. This does not
       yet allow you to narrow your listing to a certain range	of  files.  It
       will simply list them all.

	df

       Display	how  much RAM and ROM is free on your device, again similar to
       the Unix 'df' command. This does not accept arguments at this time.

	ntp, time, dtp

       Set the time on the Palm from the currently-set desktop time. This does
       not work on OS version 3.3, due to a bug in PalmOS at that time.

	rm, del

       Remove  a  file and delete it entirely from the Palm device. This is an
       irrevokable process, and you cannot "undelete" a file, once it has been
       deleted with this command.

	quit, q, exit, bye

       Exit the DLP Protocol Shell

OPTIONS
       Passing	commandline  options to pilot-dlpsh will allow you to interact
       with it in unattended mode, for example: 'pilot-dlpsh -p usb: -c	 user'
       will  connect and display the user information, just as if you had con‐
       nected interactively and typed 'user' at the DLP shell prompt.

USAGE
       The program will connect to your Palm handheld and  give	 the  user  an
       interactive  prompt  (a	"shell") for executing commands across the DLP
       HotSync protocol.
