NAME
       apt-extracttemplates - Utility to extract debconf config and templates
       from Debian packages

SYNOPSIS
       apt-extracttemplates [-t=temporary_directory] filename...
			    {-v | --version} {-h | --help}

DESCRIPTION
       apt-extracttemplates will take one or more Debian package files as
       input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config
       scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains
       config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated in
       the format:

       package version template-file config-script

       template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory
       specified by the -t or --tempdir (APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir)
       directory, with filenames of the form package.template.XXXX and
       package.config.XXXX

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

       -t, --tempdir
	   Temporary directory in which to write extracted debconf template
	   files and config scripts. Configuration Item:
	   APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir

       -h, --help
	   Show a short usage summary.

       -v, --version
	   Show the program version.

       -c, --config-file
	   Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The
	   program will read the default configuration file and then this
	   configuration file. If configuration settings need to be set before
	   the default configuration files are parsed specify a file with the
	   APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax
	   information.

       -o, --option
	   Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary
	   configuration option. The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar.	 -o and
	   --option can be used multiple times to set different options.
