Ubuntu Manpage: bitpim - utility to communicate with many CDMA phones

NAME

       bitpim - utility to communicate with many CDMA phones

SYNOPSIS

       bitpim  [ -c file  |  -d dir ]  [ -f model ]  [ -p device ]  [ bitfling ] [ debug ] [ cli-
       command ]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bitpim command.

       BitPim allows you to view and manipulate data on many phones from LG, Samsung, Sanyo,  and
       other  manufacturers that use Qualcomm CDMA chips.  Depending on your phone model, you may
       be able to  access  the  phone  book,  the  calendar,  wallpapers,  ring  tones,  and  the
       filesystem.

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

-c file
Read configuration from file.

-d dir Read configuration from dir/.bitpim.

-f model
Assume a phone type of model rather than what the configuration file specifies.
Particularly useful in CLI mode.

-p device
Communicate with the phone via the device ("port") device.

bitfling
Run as bitfling(1).

debug Print debugging information to standard output and standard error.

cli-command
Interact with the phone's filesystem via a command-line interface. The command
must be a single (quoted) argument, and can take any of the following forms:
cli Bring up an interactive shell, allowing all of the below commands as well as
a few others (cd dir, cdu, exit, and pwd or equivalently cwd).
cp src [...] destdir
Copy files to, from, or within the phone.
ll dir [...]
Print a detailed listing of the specified phone directory or directories.
ls dir [...]
Print a brief listing of the specified phone directory or directories.
mkdir dir [...]
Create a directory on the phone.
rm file [...]
Remove one or more files from the phone.
rmdir dir [...]
Remove one or more directories, which must already be empty, from the phone.

Please note that none of these commands accepts wildcards. To indicate that an
argument denotes a file or directory on the phone, you can prefix it with phone:;
this is mainly relevant for cp, which performs phone-to-PC copies unless otherwise
directed.

FILES

       $HOME/.bitpim-files/.bitpim
              The default configuration file.
