.SH NAME
pilot-getram \- Retrieves the RAM image from your Palm device for use in debugging.
.SH "SECTION"

.PP
pilot\-link: Tools

.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.PP
 \fIpilot\-getram\fR [\fB\-p\fR|\fB\-\-port\fR <\fBport\fR>] [\fB\-\-version\fR] [\fB\-q\fR|\fB\-\-quiet\fR] [\fB\-?\fR|\fB\-\-help\fR] [\fB\-\-usage\fR] [\fB\-t\fR|\fB\-\-token\fR  \fBtoken\fR] [\fB\-s\fR|\fB\-\-sysinfo\fR] [\fB\-\-ram\fR] [\fB\-\-rom\fR] [\fIfilename\fR]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
 \fIpilot\-getram\fR is used to fetch the current RAM image from your Palm handheld for use in debugging\&.

.PP
 \fIpilot\-getromtoken\fR, \fIpilot\-getrom\fR and \fIpilot\-getram\fR are inter\-related\&. All relevant code is implemented in \fIpilot\-getrom\fR, and you can do \fIpilot\-getromtoken\fR  \fB\-\-ram\fR  \fIfilename\fR to get the RAM dump if you like\&.

.PP
Note, because \fIpilot\-getrom\fR 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\&.

.PP
Write the RAM image to the file named by <\fIfilename\fR>\&. If this is omitted, the filename will be written out as the RAM version name as follows: '\fI pilot\-$VERSION\&.ram \fR ', where an OS 3\&.5 image would be written as the filename of '\fIpilot\-3\&.5\&.0\&.ram\fR'\&.

.PP
Use device file <\fIport\fR> to communicate with the Palm handheld\&. If this is not specified, \fIpilot\-getram\fR will look for the \fI$PILOTPORT\fR environment variable\&. If neither are found or supplied, \fI pilot\-getram \fR will print the usage information\&.

.SH "REPORTING BUGS"

.PP
We have an online bug tracker\&. Using this is the only way to ensure that your bugs are recorded and that we can track them until they are resolved or closed\&. Reporting bugs via email, while easy, is not very useful in terms of accountability\&. Please point your browser to http://bugs\&.pilot\-link\&.org: \fIhttp://bugs.pilot-link.org\fR and report your bugs and issues there\&.
