NAME

6       upldif - Barry Project's LDIF contact uploader
7

SYNOPSIS

9       upldif [-p pin][-P password][-u][-h][-v]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       upldif  reads  a  list  of contacts in LDAP LDIF format from stdin, and
13       overwrites the Blackberry's Address Book database with those  contents.
14       In  other words, upldif is for writing to your Blackberry.  If you want
15       to read data from your Blackberry into various formats, you  want  some
16       other tool, such as btool or bio.
17

OPTIONS

23              Simplistic method to specify device password.

26              LDIF  data that it parsed from stdin, back to stdout for verifi‐
27              cation.

29              Note! If this option is specified, all existing contacts on your
30              Blackberry will be deleted and replaced with the LDIF contacts.
