apt-extracttemplates - Utility to extract debconf config and templates from Debian packages
apt-extracttemplates [-t=temporary_directory] filename... {-v | --version} {-h | --help}
apt-extracttemplates will take one or more Debian package files as input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated in the format:
package version template-file config-script
template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory specified by the -t or --tempdir (APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir) directory, with filenames of the form package.template.XXXXXX and package.config.XXXXXX
All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean options you can override the config file by using something like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.
-t, --tempdir
-h, --help
-v, --version
-c, --config-file
-o, --option
apt-extracttemplates returns zero on normal operation, decimal 100 on error.
