<fe>] [-u <ui>] [-(b|p)] [-kl]
- -v

- ATTENTION: If needrestart is configured to run in interactive mode
but is run non-interactive (i.e. unattended-upgrades) it will fallback to
list only mode.
- -b

- -f <fe>
- overwrite debconf(7) frontend, sets the DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment
variable to <fe>

By using one of the following options only the specified checks
are performed:
- -k
- check for obsolete kernel
- -l
- check for obsolete libraries
The following environment variables can be used to override the
config file options. Command line parameters do always supersede them.
- NEEDRESTART_MODE
- Change the configured restart mode (see also the -r parameter):
(l)ist only, (i)nteractive or (a)utomatically
When used with apt-get(8) needrestart supports the following
additional environment variables:
- DEBIAN_FRONT
- The debconf(7) frontend to use, can also set using the -f
parameter.
- NEEDRESTART_SUSPEND
- If set to a non-empty value the apt-get(8) hook will not run needrestart
after installing or updating packages.
