NAME

       pilot-getram - Retrieves the RAM image from your Palm device for use in debugging.

SECTION

       pilot-link: Tools

SYNOPSIS

        pilot-getram  [-p|--port  <port>]  [--version]  [-q|--quiet]  [-?|--help]  [--usage] [-t|--token  token]
       [-s|--sysinfo] [--ram] [--rom] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

        pilot-getram is used to fetch the current RAM image from your Palm handheld for use in debugging.

        pilot-getromtoken, pilot-getrom and pilot-getram are inter-related. All relevant code is implemented  in
       pilot-getrom, and you can do pilot-getromtoken  --ram  filename to get the RAM dump if you like.

       Note,  because  pilot-getrom  uses  the  low-level  RPC  protocol to fetch the ROM image, and the new OS5
       devices do not use this protocol, you currently cannot fetch an OS5 ROM image using  this  utility.  This
       will be updated in a future release to handle fetching OS5 ROM images, using the debugger protocol.

                               <filename>

       Write the RAM image to the file named by <filename>. If this is omitted, the filename will be written out
       as the RAM version name as follows: ' pilot-$VERSION.ram  ', where an OS 3.5 image would  be  written  as
       the filename of 'pilot-3.5.0.ram'.
