mounting iphone/ipod/ipad from command line in linux

[Jude DaShiell]

I haven't been able to mount the 4s to a Linux box and the 6+ I now have 
has no command line support in archlinux at all.  If I could get that 
working, I could pass orgmode files to the 6+ for later work and update 
the versions on the computer since org-mode is available for the iPhone.
