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 .debian.tar.gz/bz2
files (source format 3.0) where possible, hence avoiding to unpack large
tarballs. It is most useful for files in the debian/ 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.
EXAMPLE
dscextract dds_2.1.1+ddd105-2.dsc debian/watch || test $? = 1
