DEBCONF-GET-SELECTIONS(1)

💖 DEBCONF-GET-SELECTIONS 💖

okay bestie, so this is the debconf-get-selections manual page, from section 1 of the Debconf docs — and honestly? it's a tiny little icon but it does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly. no notes. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

debconf-get-selections — it spits out the contents of your debconf database. that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

debconf-get-selections [--installer]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically it outputs the current debconf database in a format that debconf-set-selections can actually understand — like, the two of them are literally besties, one dumps and one loads, it's giving perfect communication. 🫶

and then!! if you wanna dump the debconf database of the debian-installer, which lives over in /var/log/installer/cdebconf, you just hit it with the --installer parameter. that's the move. no cap. ✨
