<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When debconf has the 'escape' capability set, it will expect commands
|
|
you send it to have backslashes and newlines escaped (as <TT>"\\"</TT> and <TT>"\n"</TT>
|
|
respectively) and will in turn escape backslashes and newlines in its
|
|
replies. This can be used, for example, to substitute multi-line strings
|
|
into templates, or to get multi-line extended descriptions reliably
|
|
using <TT>"METAGET"</TT>.
