NAME
apport-unpack - extract the fields of a problem report to separate files
SYNOPSIS
apport-unpack report target-directory
DESCRIPTION
A problem report, as produced by apport is a single file with a set of key/value pairs in the Debian control syntax. This tool disassembles
a report such that the value of each entry is written into a separate file, with the key as file name. This is particularly useful for
large binary data like the core dump.
report is either a path to an existing apport crash report, or '-' to read from stdin.
The target-directory must either be nonexisting or empty.
