NAME

       addresses  -  Dumps the Palm Address Book entries to STDOUT in a simple
       format.

SYNOPSIS

       Redirect to a specified output file:

       addresses [-p <port>] > MyAddresses.txt
         (Note the redirect) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

              This will dump the Address Book from your  Palm  into  the  file
              MyAddresses.txt   in  the  format  that  looks  similar  to  the
              following format:

              Category: Personal Businesses
              Last name: Doe
              First name: Jane
              Company: Acme, Inc.
              Work: +1 (800) GO-ACME
              Home: jdoe@acme.org
              Address: 123 Main Street
              City: Anywhere
              State: CA
              Zip Code: 01234-5678
              Country: USA
              Title: Chief Annoyance Officer

       Output to STDOUT (the screen)

       addresses [-p <port>]

              This will dump the same information (shown above,  in  the  same
              format as above) to the screen or wherever you may have directed
              STDOUT to on your system.

DESCRIPTION

       addresses will connect to your Palm handheld and dump all entries found
       in  the  AddressDB.pdb  (Address  Book)  file  to STDOUT (generally the
       screen) or, if redirected with the  ’>’  (greater-than)  character,  it
       will  redirect  to  a file of your choosing (called "MyAddresses.txt in
       the above example, but may be called any other filename you wish).

OPTIONS

       There is only one option (and it is, well, optional), and that  is  the
       ’>’  redirection  character  to  send the output to a file (or process)
       instead of STDOUT (generally "The Screen[tm]")

USAGE

       The program will read Address data from the Palm handheld and output  a
       format  suitable  for the other programs to import as required. You may
       redirect the output to a file or process, at your choosing.

       addresses [-p <port>] > MyAddresses.txt   #  redirect  to  a  file  (or
       process/pipe)
       addresses [-p <port>]                     # print to STDOUT/the screen
