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.
