NAME¶
debconf-escape - helper when working with debconf's escape capability
SYNOPSIS¶
debconf-escape -e < unescaped-text
debconf-escape -u < escaped-text
DESCRIPTION¶
When debconf has the 'escape' capability set, it will expect commands you send
it to have backslashes and newlines escaped (as
"\\" and
"\n" respectively) and will in turn escape
backslashes and newlines in its replies. This can be used, for example, to
substitute multi-line strings into templates, or to get multi-line extended
descriptions reliably using "METAGET".
