NAME

       update-rcconf-guide - Create default guide file for rcconf

SYNOPSIS

       update-rcconf-guide

DESCRIPTION

       Update-rcconf-guide creates the default guide file which rcconf uses.

       Update-rcconf-guide searches the package names corresponding to each service file in /etc/init.d
       directory from dpkg info files(/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list) and get the description of these packages using
       apt-cache. Update-rcconf-guide uses Short-Description in priority to the description if service files has
       Short-Description field.  Update-rcconf-guide writes those results to /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default file.

       You can write your own guide in user guide file(/var/lib/rcconf/guide) by hand.  Rcconf refers Guides in
       /var/lib/rcconf/guide before those in /var/lib/rcconf/guide.default.

       If you install some packages after executed update-rcconf-guide, you need to re-create this file using
       update-rcconf-guide so as to refresh guide.default that includes new guides for installed new services.

       Notice: update-rcconf-guide was not executed when you installed rcconf
               package.
