NAME

6       debconf-show - query the debconf database
7

SYNOPSIS

9        debconf-show packagename [...] [--db=dbname]
10        debconf-show --listowners [--db=dbname]
11        debconf-show --listdbs
12

DESCRIPTION

14       debconf-show lets you query the debconf database in different ways.
15
16       The most common use is "debconf-show packagename", which displays all
17       items in the debconf database owned by a given package, and their
18       current values.  Questions that have been asked already are prefixed
19       with an '*'.
20
21       This can be useful as a debugging aid, and especially handy in bug
22       reports involving a package's use of debconf.
23

OPTIONS

25       --db=dbname
26           Specify the database to query. By default, debconf-show queries the
27           main database.
28
29       --listowners
30           Lists all owners of questions in the database. Generally an owner
31           is equivalent to a debian package name.
32
33       --listdbs
34           Lists all available databases.
