APT-CONFIG(8)                                APT                               APT-CONFIG(8)

NAME
       apt-config - APT Configuration Query program

SYNOPSIS
       apt-config [--empty] [--format '%f "%v";%n'] [-o=config_string] [-c=config_file]
                  {shell | dump | {-v | --version} | {-h | --help}}

DESCRIPTION
       apt-config is an internal program used by various portions of the APT suite to
       provide consistent configurability. It accesses the main configuration file
       /etc/apt/apt.conf in a manner that is easy to use for scripted applications.

       Unless the -h, or --help option is given, one of the commands below must be present.

       shell
           shell is used to access the configuration information from a shell script. It is
           given pairs of arguments, the first being a shell variable and the second the
           configuration value to query. As output it lists shell assignment commands for
           each value present. In a shell script it should be used as follows:

               OPTS="-f"
               RES=`apt-config shell OPTS MyApp::options`
               eval $RES
           This will set the shell environment variable $OPTS to the value of MyApp::options
           with a default of -f.

           The configuration item may be postfixed with a /[fdbi]. f returns file names, d
           returns directories, b returns true or false and i returns an integer. Each of
           the returns is normalized and verified internally.

       dump
           Just show the contents of the configuration space.

OPTIONS
       All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the descriptions
       indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean options you can override the
       config file by using something like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.

       --empty
           Include options which have an empty value. This is the default, so use --no-empty
           to remove them from the output.

       --format '%f "%v";%n'
           Defines the output of each config option. %t will be replaced with its individual
           name, %f with its full hierarchical name and %v with its value. Use uppercase
           letters and special characters in the value will be encoded to ensure that it can
           e.g. be safely used in a quoted-string as defined by RFC822. Additionally %n will
           be replaced by a newline, and %N by a tab. A % can be printed by using %%.

       -h, --help
           Show a short usage summary.

       -v, --version
           Show the program version.

       -c, --config-file
           Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The program will read
           the default configuration file and then this configuration file. If configuration
           settings need to be set before the default configuration files are parsed specify
           a file with the APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax
           information.

       -o, --option
           Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary configuration option. The
           syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar.  -o and --option can be used multiple times to set
           different options.

Help output

sudo apt-config --help
apt 1.8.2.1 (amd64)
Használat: apt-config [kapcsolók] parancs

Az apt-config egy felület az APT eszközök által használt konfigurációs
beállításokhoz, főleg hibakereséshez és parancsfájlokhoz tervezve.

Legtöbbet használt parancsok:
  shell - konfigurációs értékek lekérése parancsértelmező-kiértékelés útján
  dump - az aktív konfigurációs beállítás megjelenítése

Az elérhető parancsokkal kapcsolatban további információkért lásd: apt-config(8).
A konfigurációs beállítások és a szintaxis az apt.conf(5) fájlban találhatók.
A források beállításával kapcsolatos információkat a sources.list(5) tartalmazza.
A csomag- és verzióválasztások az apt_preferences(5) használatával adhatók meg.
A biztonsági adatok az apt-secure(8)-ban vannak.
