=head1 NAME
debconf - run a debconf-using program
=cut
=head1 SYNOPSIS
debconf [options] command [args]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Debconf is a configuration system for Debian packages. For a debconf
overview and documentation for sysadmins, see L<debconf(7)>.
The B<debconf> program runs a program under debconf's control, setting it up
to talk with debconf on stdio. The program's output is expected to be debconf
protocol commands, and it is expected to read result codes on stdin. See
L<debconf-devel(7)> for details about the debconf protocol.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-o>I<package>, B<--owner=>I<package>
Tell debconf what package the command it is running is a part of. This is
necessary to get ownership of registered questions right, and to support
unregister and purge commands properly.
=item B<-f>I<type>, B<--frontend=>I<type>
Select the frontend to use.
=item B<-p>I<value>, B<--priority=>I<value>
Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.
=item B<-s>, B<--showold>
Redisplay old, already seen questions.

debconf --frontend=readline sh -x my-shell-prog
