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

SECTION
       pilot-link: Tools

SYNOPSIS
        pilot-getram [-p|--port <port>] [--version] [-q|--quiet] [-?|--help]
       [--usage] [-t|--token  token] [-s|--sysinfo] [--ram] [--rom] [filename]

DESCRIPTION
        pilot-getram is used to fetch the current RAM image from your Palm
       handheld for use in debugging.

        pilot-getromtoken, pilot-getrom and pilot-getram are inter-related.
       All relevant code is implemented in pilot-getrom, and you can do
       pilot-getromtoken  --ram  filename to get the RAM dump if you like.

       Note, because pilot-getrom 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.

                               --token token

                               --rom

       Read ROM

                               <filename>

       Write the RAM image to the file named by <filename>. If this is
       omitted, the filename will be written out as the RAM version name as
       follows: ' pilot-$VERSION.ram  ', where an OS 3.5 image would be
       written as the filename of 'pilot-3.5.0.ram'.

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