<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>debconf-communicate</B> allows you to communicate with debconf on the fly,
|
|
from the command line. The package argument is the name of the package
|
|
which you are pretending to be as you communicate with debconf, and it may
|
|
be omitted if you are lazy. It reads commands in the form used by the debconf
|
|
protocol from stdin. For documentation on the available commands and their
|
|
usage, see the debconf specification.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The commands are executed in sequence. The textual return code of each is
|
|
printed out to standard output.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The return value of this program is the numeric return code of the last
|
|
executed command.

<H2>WARNING</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This program should never be used from a maintainer script of a package
|
|
that uses debconf! It may however, be useful in debugging.
