12 See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.

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.

53 the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
