addresses − Dumps the Palm AddressBook entries to STDOUT in a simple format
Redirect to a

State: CA

Title: Chief Annoyance Officer
Output to
STDOUT (the screen)
addresses [−p <port>]
This will dump the same information to the screen (or wherever you may have STDOUT redirected on your system).
addresses will connect to your Palm device and dump the current AddressDB.pdb entries to STDOUT (generally the screen) or, if redirected with the ’>’ character, it will redirect to a file of your choosing (called "MyAddresses.txt in this case, but may be called any other filename you wish).
There is only one option (and it is, well, optional), and that is the ’>’ redirection character to send the output to a file (or process) instead of STDOUT (generally "The Screen[tm]")
The program will read Address data from the Palm and output format suitable for the other programs to import as required. You may redirect the output to a file or process, at your choosing.
