.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIgsmpb\fP can store or retrieve phonebook entries residing in a GSM
mobile phone's phonebook to or from a file. A synchronization mode is
also available.
.PP
\fIgsmpb\fP reads entries from the source which can be a mobile phone
(if a serial device file is given) or a file (if a file name is
given). The source is never modified. \fIgsmpb\fP writes phonebook
entries to a destination file or device.  Depending on the mode the
source is copied to the destination file, thus overwriting the
destination, or the destination is synchronized with regard to the
source which is the default (details see below).
.PP
If "-" is given as the parameter for the \fB--source\fP or
\fB--destination\fP options, the phonebook is read from standard input 
and/or written to standard output, respectively.
.PP
Phonebook entries names are encoded using the GSM default alphabet in
the mobile phone, whereas they are stored using the Latin-1 encoding
in phonebook files. When reading phonebook entries from a mobile phone 
entry names are converted from the GSM default to Latin-1. Characters
that can not be converted to Latin-1 are encoded as character code
172 (Latin-1 boolean "not"). When writing file-based phonebook entries 
to a mobile phone a conversion to the GSM default alphabet takes
place. Characters that can not be converted are encoded as GSM delta
(code 16). If the default character set has been changed using the
\fB--charset\fP option no conversion takes place.
.PP
Error messages are printed to the standard error output. If the program
terminates on error the error code 1 is returned.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.TP .7i
\fB-b\fP \fIbaudrate\fP, \fB--baudrate\fP \fIbaudrate\fP
The baud rate to use. The default baudrate is 38400.
.TP .7i
\fB-c\fP, \fB--copy\fP
This causes the contents of the source to be copied to the
destination. After this operation the destination has exactly the same 
contents as the source.
.TP .7i
\fB-d\fP \fIdestination\fP, \fB--destination\fP \fIdestination\fP
The destination device or file.
.TP .7i
\fB-h\fP, \fB--help\fP
Prints an option summary.
.TP .7i
\fB-I\fP \fIinit string\fP, \fB--init\fP \fIinit string\fP
Initialization string to send to the TA (default: "E0"). Note that the
sequence "ATZ" is sent first.
.TP .7i
\fB-i\fP, \fB--index\fP
If the index position is given, \fIgsmpb\fP preserves the assignment
of entries to memory slots in the mobile phone's phonebook. This can
be used to backup phonebook entries with their position into a
phonebook file or to change the position of entries by editing a
phonebook file and writing them back to the mobile phone.
If this option is given the phonebook file used as the source
must contain indices for every entry. Additionally, these indices must 
be unique, ie. it is not allowed to assign one entry twice to a
specific position in the mobile phone's phonebook.
.TP .7i
\fB-p\fP \fIphonebook\fP, \fB--phonebook\fP \fIphonebook\fP
The name of the phonebook to read from or write to. This is only used
for device sources and destinations. Commonly available phonebooks
are:
.TP .3i
.po +0.7i
.ll 5.8i
\fIFD\fP
SIM fixdialling-phonebook
.TP .3i
\fILD\fP
SIM last-dialling-phonebook
.TP .3i
\fIME\fP
ME phonebook
.TP .3i
\fIMT\fP
combined ME and SIM phonebook
.TP .3i
\fISM\fP
SIM phonebook
.TP .3i
\fITA\fP
TA phonebook
.TP .7i
.po -0.7i
.ll 6.5i
\fB-s\fP \fIsource\fP, \fB--source\fP \fIsource\fP
The source device or file.
.TP
\fB-t\fP \fIcharacter set\fP, \fB--charset\fP \fIcharacter set\fP
Set the character set to use for phonebook operations (default is the
GSM default alphabet).
.TP
\fB-v\fP, \fB--version\fP
Prints the program version.
.TP .7i
\fB-V\fP, \fB--verbose\fP
Prints out a detailed progress report.
.TP .7i
\fB-X\fP, \fB--xonxoff\fP
Uses software handshaking (XON/XOFF) for accessing the device.
.TP .7i
\fB-y\fP, \fB--synchronize\fP
This causes the contents of the source to be synchronized with the
destination (default). Synchronization in this context means:
.TP .2i
.po +0.7i
.ll 5.8i
\-
If the source contains an entry with a name that does not exist in the 
destination this entry is added to the destination.
.TP .2i
\-
If the source contains an entry with a name that can also be found in
the destination, the entry in the destination is overwritten (ie. the
telephone number is updated). Exception: More then one entry with the
name exists in the destination. In this case the new entry ist just added.
.TP .2i
\-
Entries in the destination that do not exist in the source are
deleted.
.PP
Note that synchronization has the following properties that differ
from copying: This algorithm does not change the location of unchanged
entries in the destination phonebook. The synchronization function
is not case-sensitive when comparing names.
.PP
.po -0.7i
.ll 6.5i
.SH PHONEBOOK FILE FORMAT 
Phonebook entries are stored in phonebook files that are meant to be
human-readable and -editable. There is one phonebook entry per line,
and each line has the format:
.PP
.nf
index|text|phone number
.fi
.PP
The fields have the following meanings:
.TP .7i
\fIindex\fP
The index of the entry which must be a positive number. The index may
also be empty. Indices can be used in conjunction with the
\fB--index\fP option to store the entry into a specific position in
the mobile phone.
.TP .7i
\fItext\fP
Descriptive text for the entry. The text may contain the special
characters '\\', '|', carriage return (ASCII code 13), or line feed
(ASCII code 10). These must be written "\\\\", "\\|", "\\r", "\\n",
respectively. The text should only contain characters that can be
encoded using the GSM default alphabet (see comments above).
.TP .7i
\fIphone number\fP
Phone numbers can only contains the digits 0-9 and the '+' sign. A '+' 
sign denotes an international number.
.PP
.SH EXAMPLES
The following invocation of \fIgsmpb\fP synchronizes the mobile phone's
SIM phonebook with the file $HOME/.phonebook:
.PP
.nf
gsmpb --synchronize -b 19200 -d /dev/mobilephone \\
      -s $HOME/.phonebook -p "SM"
.fi
