NAME

       diffindex-download - Download utility for Debian Contents files

SYNOPSIS

       diffindex-download [ options ] URL filename

DESCRIPTION

       diffindex-download  is  a command line tool for downloading Contents files. It uses APT's diff/Index format patches when available to avoid
       downloading the full file.  diffindex-download is used by apt-file.

OPTIONS

	  -n number
	      If more than number patches would be necessary, download the whole file. Specifying 0 to always download the whole file is possible.

	  -k  Don't verify the peer certificate when using https.

	  -c cacert
	      If cacert is a directory: Use cacert as CA certificate path. Otherwise use cacert as CA certificate bundle.  See	the  --capath  and
	      --cacert options in the curl(1) man page.

	  -i  Don't exit with errror if the URL does not exist. This is useful as some archives don't provide Contents files.

	  -q  Be quiet (opposite of -v). The default if stdout is not a terminal.

	  -v  Be verbose (opposite of -q). The default if stdout is a terminal.

	  -d  Print additional debug info.

	  -h  Display a short help screen.
