NAME

       cdist-type__debconf_set_selections - Setup debconf selections

DESCRIPTION

       On  Debian  and alike systems debconf-set-selections(1) can be used to setup configuration
       parameters.

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

       cf. --line.

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

       file   Use the given filename as input for debconf-set-selections(1)  If  filename  is  -,
              read from stdin.

              This parameter is deprecated, because it doesn't work with state detection.

       line   A  line in debconf-set-selections(1) compatible format.  This parameter can be used
              multiple times to set multiple options.

              (This parameter is actually required, but marked optional  because  the  deprecated
              --file is still accepted.)

BOOLEAN PARAMETERS

       None.

EXAMPLES

          # Setup gitolite's gituser
          __debconf_set_selections nslcd --line 'gitolite gitolite/gituser string git'

          # Setup configuration for nslcd from a file.
          # NB: Multiple lines can be passed to --line, although this can be considered a hack.
          __debconf_set_selections nslcd --line "$(cat "${__files:?}/preseed/nslcd.debconf")"
