18 echo commands debconf-communicate [[options] [[package]
19 !!DESCRIPTION
20
21
22 __debconf-communicate__ allows you to communicate with
23 debconf on the fly, from the command line. The package
24 argument is the name of the package which you are pretending
25 to be as you communicate with debconf, and it may be omitted
26 if you are lazy. It reads commands in the form used by the
27 debconf protocol from stdin. For documentation on the
28 available commands and their usage, see the debconf
29 specification.
30
31
32 The commands are executed in sequence. The textual return
33 code of each is printed out to standard output.
34
35
36 The return value of this program is the numeric return code
37 of the last executed command.
38 !!EXAMPLE
39
40
41 echo get debconf/frontend debconf-communicate
42 Print out the value of the debconf/frontend question.
43 !!WARNING
44
45
46 This program should never be used from a maintainer script
47 of a package that uses debconf! It may however, be useful in
48 debugging.
