[

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.
