NAME
       diffindex-download - Download utility for Debian Contents files


SYNOPSIS
       diffindex-download [ options ] URL filename


DESCRIPTION
       diffindex-download is a command line tool for downloading Contents files. It uses APT's diff/Index format
       patches when available to avoid downloading the full file.  diffindex-download is used by apt-file.


OPTIONS
          -n number
              If more than number patches would be necessary, download the whole file. Specifying  0  to  always
              download the whole file is possible.

          -k  Don't verify the peer certificate when using https.

          -c cacert
              If  cacert  is  a  directory:  Use  cacert  as  CA  certificate  path.  Otherwise use cacert as CA
              certificate bundle. See the --capath and --cacert options in the curl(1) man page.

          -i  Don't exit with errror if the URL does not exist. This is useful as some  archives  don't  provide
              Contents files.

          -q  Be quiet (opposite of -v). The default if stdout is not a terminal.

          -v  Be verbose (opposite of -q). The default if stdout is a terminal.

          -d  Print additional debug info.

          -h  Display a short help screen.
