SYNOPSIS

9       jigdo-lite [ URL ]
10

DESCRIPTION

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