![]() | ![]() | ![]() | The readput Command |
The readput command reads information from a file and sends it to the receiver:
readput FORMAT [IN-PARAMS] [IN-TYPES] PATH [OUT-TYPES]where:
FORMAT [IN-PARAMS] is the input file format and its
parameters (if any); use show
formats for a list of the currently accepted
formats;
IN-TYPES are the data types to read; the possible types
depend on the format and some formats impose that there is a
single data type per file; they may be absent if the format
requires a unique data type or if the files can have items of
different types; all can be used as an abbreviation of
WP RT TR;
PATH is the path to the file to read from, or, in the
case of the Shapefile format, the path to the Shapefiles
basename (file extensions will be discarded). If the PATH
is stdin input will be from the standard input unless the
format is the Shapefile format (in which case the
command fails);
OUT-TYPES are the data types to put; the possible types
are WP, RT and TR and may be absent in which
case they are taken to be IN-TYPES; if RT occurs in
IN-TYPES then WP can appear in OUT-TYPES but
no other type "conversions" are allowed; all can be used
as an abbreviation of WP RT TR.
As usual, putting information into the receiver can cause data stored in it to be overwritten.
This command only works with Garmin receivers.
