REQUIRED PARAMETERS

cf. --line.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

Use the given filename as input for debconf-set-selections(1) If filename is -, read from stdin.

This parameter is deprecated, because it doesn't work with state detection.

A line in debconf-set-selections(1) compatible format. This parameter can be used multiple times to set multiple options.

(This parameter is actually required, but marked optional because the deprecated --file is still accepted.)

__debconf_set_selections nslcd --line 'gitolite gitolite/gituser string git'
# Setup configuration for nslcd from a file.
