install-datebook(1) Conduits install-datebook(1)NAMEinstall-datebook - installs a new datebook entry onto your Palm hand‐
held.
SYNOPSISinstall-datebook [-p <port>] -r [<filename> ...]
DESCRIPTIONinstall-datebook allows the user to create one or more datebook entries
from one or more source files.
The format of the source file contains one datebook entry per line,
containing four tab separated fields. The fields are start date/time,
end date/time, alarm settings, and the description of datebook entry.
This program doesn't yet support repeated entries. The date and time
must be in format understand by parsedate.y. At the very least, the
following two formats are understood:
August 11, 1997 0800 GMT+300
1997/08/11 08:22:33 GMT+300
If either one of the date and time fields is empty, the entry is
installed without time. If the alarm field is empty, the entry is
installed without setting any alarms. The alarm field can contain num‐
bers followed by "m" (minutes), "h" (hours), or "d" (days).
Here are some example lines ([__TAB__] = tab, [__NL__] = newline in
these examples):
1997/08/11 0800 GMT+300 [__TAB__] 1997/08/11 0900 GMT+300
[__TAB__] [__TAB__] IETF Registration [__NL__]
August 11, 1997 0900 GMT+300 [__TAB__] August 11, 1997 0930
GMT+300 [__TAB__] 2m [__TAB__] Introductions [__NL__]
OPTIONS
No options are supported at this time.
USAGE
The program will connect to the target Palm device, and create Datebook
entries based on the datebook-formatted file given on the commandline
onto the Palm handheld (into the DatebookDB.pdb file).
BUGS
KNOWN BUGS
If no timezone is given, install-datebook will assume the time
is in GMT and it will convert it to localtime. If you don't want
to create timezone entries for all begin and end times, set the
TZ environment variable to GMT before running this program.
