<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Debconf is a configuration system for Debian packages. For a debconf
|
|
overview and documentation for sysadmins, see <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+debconf">debconf</A></B>(7) (in the
|
|
debconf-doc package).
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The <B>debconf</B> program runs a program under debconf's control, setting it up
|
|
to talk with debconf on stdio. The program's output is expected to be debconf
|
|
protocol commands, and it is expected to read result codes on stdin. See
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+debconf-devel">debconf-devel</A></B>(7) for details about the debconf protocol.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The command to be run under debconf must be specified in a way that will
|
|
let your <FONT SIZE="-1">PATH</FONT> find it.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
This command is not the usual way that debconf is used. It's more typical
|
|
for debconf to be used via <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+dpkg-preconfigure">dpkg-preconfigure</A></B>(8) or <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?8+dpkg-reconfigure">dpkg-reconfigure</A></B>(8).

<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>-o</B><I>package</I>, <B>--owner=</B><I>package</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tell debconf what package the command it is running is a part of. This is
|
|
necessary to get ownership of registered questions right, and to support
|
|
unregister and purge commands properly.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>-f</B><I>type</I>, <B>--frontend=</B><I>type</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Select the frontend to use.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>-p</B><I>value</I>, <B>--priority=</B><I>value</I><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>--terse</B><DD>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends.

|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer debconf my-shell-prog
|
|
