DSCEXTRACT(1) General Commands Manual DSCEXTRACT(1) NAME dscextract - extract a single file from a Debian source package SYNOPSIS dscextract [options] dscfile file DESCRIPTION dscextract reads a single file from a Debian source package. The idea is to only look into .diff.gz files (source format 1.0) or .de- bian.tar.gz/bz2 files (source format 3.0) where possible, hence avoid- ing to unpack large tarballs. It is most useful for files in the de- bian/ subdirectory. file is relative to the first level directory contained in the package, i.e. with the first component stripped. OPTIONS -f "Fast" mode. For source format 1.0, avoid to fall back scanning the .orig.tar.gz file if file was not found in the .diff.gz. (For 3.0 packages, it is assumed that debian/* are exactly the contents of debian.tar.gz/bz2.) EXIT STATUS 0 file was extracted. 1 file was not found in the source package. 2 An error occurred, like dscfile was not found.
