DEBCONF-ESCAPE(1) Debconf DEBCONF-ESCAPE(1) NAME
debconf-escape - helper when working with debconf's escape capability SYNOPSIS
debconf-escape -e < unescaped-text debconf-escape -u < escaped-text DESCRIPTION
When debconf has the 'escape' capability set, it will expect commands you send it to have backslashes and newlines escaped (as "\" and " " respectively) and will in turn escape backslashes and newlines in its replies. This can be used, for example, to substitute multi-line strings into templates, or to get multi-line extended descriptions reliably using "METAGET". SEE ALSO
