DESCRIPTION

14       apt-extracttemplates will take one or more Debian package files as
15       input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config
16       scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains
17       config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated in
18       the format:
19
20       package version template-file config-script
21
22       template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory
23       specified by the -t or --tempdir (APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir)
24       directory, with filenames of the form package.template.XXXXXX and
25       package.config.XXXXXX
26

OPTIONS

28       All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the
29       descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean
30       options you can override the config file by using something like
31       -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.
