SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.
14
15       Given  the  URL of a `.jigdo' file, jigdo-lite downloads the large file
16       (e.g. a CD image) that  has  been  made  available  through  that  URL.
17       wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data
18       (contained in the `.jigdo' file and a corresponding  `.template'  file)
19       as well as the many pieces that the large file is made from. The jigdo-
20       file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file from the pieces.
21
22       `.jigdo' files that contain references to Debian  mirrors  are  treated
23       specially:  When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one
24       mirror out of a list of all Debian mirrors.
25
26       If URL is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a loca‐
27       tion  to  download  the  `.jigdo' file from. The following command line
28       options are recognized:
29
30       -h --help
31              Output short summary of command syntax.
32
33       -v --version
34              Output version number.
35
36       --scan FILES
37              Do not ask for "Files to scan", use this path.
38
39       --noask
40              Do not ask any questions, instead behave  as  if  the  user  had
41              pressed  Return  at all prompts. This can be useful when running
42              jigdo-lite from cron jobs or in other  non-interactive  environ‐
43              ments.
