debconf-show(1)

NAME

   debconf-show - query the debconf database

SYNOPSIS

    debconf-show packagename [...] [--db=dbname]
    debconf-show --listowners [--db=dbname]
    debconf-show --listdbs

DESCRIPTION

   debconf-show lets you query the debconf database in different ways.

   The most common use is "debconf-show packagename", which displays all
   items in the debconf database owned by a given package, and their
   current values.  Questions that have been asked already are prefixed
   with an '*'.

   This can be useful as a debugging aid, and especially handy in bug
   reports involving a package's use of debconf.

OPTIONS

   --db=dbname
       Specify the database to query. By default, debconf-show queries the
       main database.

   --listowners
       Lists all owners of questions in the database. Generally an owner
       is equivalent to a debian package name.

   --listdbs
       Lists all available databases.
