Overview
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.

<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'.
Conduit Options
-p, --port
<port>

-q,
--quiet
Suppress 'Hit HotSync button' message
-v, --version
Display version of pilot-getram and exit without connecting.
Help Options
-h, --help
