NAME
       ucfq - query the ucf database

SYNOPSIS
	usage: ucfq [options] (/path/to/file|package)[/path/to/file|package  ...]

OPTIONS
       --help h Print out a usage message.
       --debug -d Turn on debugging mode.
       --verbose -v Make the script more verbose..
       --with-colons -w
	    Normally, the script presents the information in a human readable
	    tabular format, but that may be harder for a machine to parse.
	    With this option, the output is a compact, colon separated line,
	    with no dividers, headers, or footer.

       --state-dr dir
	    Set the state directory to "/path/to/dir" instead of the default
	    "/var/lib/ucf".  Used mostly for testing.

DESCRIPTION
       This script takes a set of arguments, each of which is a package name
       (and thus does not contain a /) or a full path to a configuration file,
       and outputs the associated package, if any, if the file exists on disk,
       and whether it has been modified by the user.  The output is either a
       human readable tabular form, or a compact colon-separated machine
       friendly format.

       This script can potentially be used in package "postrm" scripts during
       purge to query the system for configuration files that may still exist
       on the system, and whether these files have been locally modified by
       the user -- assuming that the package registered all the configuration
       files with ucf using "ucfr".

CAVEATS
       This is very inchoate, at the moment, and needs testing.

BUGS
       None Known so far.
