20 \- Barry Project's program to interface with BlackBerry handheld
23 [-c dn][-C dnattr][-d db [-f file][-r#][-R#]-D#]][-h][-l][-L][-m cmd][-M][-p pin][-s db -f file][-t][-v][-X]
27 is a very early version of a program that communicates with a
28 BlackBerry device over USB; there is no intention to support ancient
29 serial-port BlackBerries.
30 Since the protocols used by BlackBerry are not documented
31 by the manufacturer Research In Motion, this program is
32 experimental and you \fBuse at own risk\fP.
33 Be sure your device is backed up by another program
34 if it contains important data.
38 Convert address book database to LDIF format, using the
39 specified dn as the baseDN. Sends LDIF output to stdout.
42 Spcify LDIF attribute name to use when building the FQDN in the dn attribute.
43 Defaults to 'cn'. If you modify the mapping with the \-m
44 switch, make sure that the new dnattr exists.
47 Load database 'db' FROM device and dump to stdout.
48 Can be used multiple times to fetch more than one database. See the -t
49 option for a list of device databases.
52 Filename to write or read handheld data to/from. Used in conjunction with
53 the -d and -s options, respectively.
56 Lists attached Blackberry devices, and their PIN numbers.
59 List Contact field names. Each name represents a contact field that the
60 Barry library recognizes. Use these names with the -m option to adjust
61 the LDIF name to field mapping.
64 Map LDIF name to Contact field, or unmap LDIF name. To map a new or existing
65 LDIF attribute name to a Barry contact field, use the format 'ldif,read,write'
66 where ldif represents the name of the attribute to map, read is the
67 contact field name used to read data from the record, and write is the
68 contact field name used to write data to the record.
70 To unmap an LDIF name, specify the LDIF attribute alone.
72 For example, to map a new LDIF attribute called "strange" to read from
73 FirstName and write to LastName, use:
75 \-m strange,FirstName,LastName
77 The -m option can be specified multiple times to create the desired mapping.
80 List current LDIF mapping to stdout.
83 PIN of device to talk with. Only needed if you have more than one Blackberry
87 Simplistic method to specify device password. In a real application, this
88 would be done using a more secure prompt.
91 Save database 'db' TO device from data loaded from -f file. See the -t
92 option for a list of device databases.
95 Show device's database table.
98 Show record state table for given database.
101 Dump verbose protocol data during operation.
107 Show summary of options.
109 .SH DATABASE COMMAND MODIFIERS
110 The following options modify the -d command option above, and can be used
111 multiple times for more than one record.
114 Fetch specific record, given a record index number as seen in the -T state table.
115 Can be used multiple times to fetch specific records from a single database.
118 Same as -r, but also clears the record's dirty flags.
121 Delete the specified record using the index number as seen in the -T state table.
127 is part of the Barry project.

134 to help with the project.
