sisinstall1

Simple command line program for installing packaged programs or libraries on the psion.

Usage

sisinstall [-h] [-V] [-n] [-v level] [long-options] FILE

Overview

sisinstall installs a packaged program or library from a sis file to a Psion machine. It requires the ncpd to be running already to provide access to the Psion machine over the serial port.

Options

-V, --version

Display the version and exit

-h, --help

Display a short help text and exit.

-n, --dryryn

Just parse the sis file, don't touch the Psion machine.

-v, --verbose=level

Specify the log level.

Level 0 is the default, and is pretty quiet.

Level 1 provides detailed information on the data that is read.

Level 2 is rather verbose, and is mostly meant for debugging.
