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

-itemize(
- it() shell

-dit(bf(shell))
-bf(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 a series of shell
-assignments commands for each present value. In a shell script it should be
-used like:
-
-verb(
-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.
-
-If the configuration item to retrieve is prefixed with a / then it will
-be retrieved using filename mode which prepends base paths.
-
-dit(bf(dump))
-Just show the contents of the configuration space.
-
-enddit()
-
-manpageoptions()

-
-startdit()
-dit(bf(-h, --help))

-
-dit(bf(-v, --version))
