NAME

       config - Builds system configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       /sys/conf/config [-k] [-p] [-q] system_name

FLAGS

       Creates	a  define  variable 'KDEBUG' that can be used to conditionally compile source code for kernel debugging.  Configure the system for
       profiling.  You must have sources to use this flag.  Concatenates and displays all the system configuration files, including any configura-
       tion files described in the /sys/conf/NAME.list file.

DESCRIPTION

       The  doconfig  command  calls the config command to build a set of system configuration files from a file that describes the sort of system
       that is being configured.  The config command also takes as input another file that tells it what files are needed to  generate	a  system.
       This other file can be augmented by a configuration-specific set of files that name alternate files for a specific machine.

       Normally,  you should run the doconfig program and not the config command.  If you need to issue the config command, be sure to change your
       directory to the /sys/conf directory.  As an argument to the config command, specify the name of a  system  configuration  file	containing
       device specifications, configuration options and other system parameters for that specific system configuration.  The config command places
       all its output files in the directory

       The output of config consists of a number of files; each machine type has its own specific set of files.  All machine types have a makefile
       which  is used by make during the system build.	Typically, there are also a set of header files which contain definitions of the number of
       various devices that will be compiled into the system, and a set of swap configuration files contain definitions for the disk areas  to	be
       used for swapping, the root file system, argument processing, and system dumps.

       After running config, you run make depend in the directory where the new makefile was created.

       If  any	other  error  messages are produced by config, the problems in the configuration file should be corrected and config should be run
       again.  Attempts to compile a system that had configuration errors are likely to be unsuccessful.

NOTES

       The line numbers reported in error messages are usually off by one.

FILES

       List of common files used to build the system List of files specific to NAME, where NAME is the value specified for the ident option in the
       system  configuration file Machine-independent portion of the makefile template used for building kernels from binaries Machine-independent
       portion of the makefile template used for building kernels from sources Machine-dependent portion of the makefile template List of machine-
       specific files Machine-specific name to major device mapping file

NAME

       apt-extracttemplates - Utility to extract debconf config and templates from Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       apt-extracttemplates [-t=temporary_directory] filename... {-v | --version} {-h | --help}

DESCRIPTION

       apt-extracttemplates will take one or more Debian package files as input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config
       scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated in
       the format:

       package version template-file config-script

       template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory specified by the -t or --tempdir (APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir)
       directory, with filenames of the form package.template.XXXX and package.config.XXXX

OPTIONS

       All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean
       options you can override the config file by using something like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.

       -t, --tempdir
	   Temporary directory in which to write extracted debconf template files and config scripts. Configuration Item:
	   APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir

       -h, --help
	   Show a short usage summary.

       -v, --version
	   Show the program version.

       -c, --config-file
	   Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The program will read the default configuration file and then this
	   configuration file. If configuration settings need to be set before the default configuration files are parsed specify a file with the
	   APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax information.

       -o, --option
	   Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary configuration option. The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar.	-o and --option can be
	   used multiple times to set different options.

       apt-extracttemplates returns zero on normal operation, decimal 100 on error.
