NAME¶
jigdo-lite - Download jigdo files using wget
SYNOPSIS¶
jigdo-lite [
URL ]
DESCRIPTION¶
See
jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.
Given the URL of a `
.jigdo' file,
jigdo-lite downloads the large
file (e.g. a CD image) that has been made available through that URL.
wget(1) is used to download the necessary pieces of administrative data
(contained in the `
.jigdo' file and a corresponding `
.template' file) as well as the many pieces that the large file is made
from. The
jigdo-file(1) utility is used to reconstruct the large file
from the pieces.
`
.jigdo' files that contain references to Debian mirrors are treated
specially: When such a file is recognized, you are asked to select one mirror
out of a list of all Debian mirrors.
If
URL is not given on the command line, the script prompts for a
location to download the `
.jigdo' file from. The following command
line options are recognized:
- -h --help
- Output short summary of command syntax.
- -v --version
- Output version number.
- --scan FILES
- Do not ask for "Files to scan", use this path.
- --noask
- Do not ask any questions, instead behave as if the user had pressed Return
at all prompts. This can be useful when running jigdo-lite from
cron jobs or in other non-interactive environments.
