=====================================
NAME
----
cdist-type__debconf_set_selections - Setup debconf selections
DESCRIPTION
-----------
On Debian and alike systems :strong:`debconf-set-selections`\ (1) can be used
to setup configuration parameters.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
cf. ``--line``.
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
file
Use the given filename as input for :strong:`debconf-set-selections`\ (1)
If filename is ``-``, read from stdin.
**This parameter is deprecated, because it doesn't work with state detection.**
line
A line in :strong:`debconf-set-selections`\ (1) compatible format.
This parameter can be used multiple times to set multiple options.
(This parameter is actually required, but marked optional because the
deprecated ``--file`` is still accepted.)
BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------
None.
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Setup gitolite's gituser
__debconf_set_selections nslcd --line 'gitolite gitolite/gituser string git'
# Setup configuration for nslcd from a file.
# NB: Multiple lines can be passed to --line, although this can be considered a hack.
__debconf_set_selections nslcd --line "$(cat "${__files:?}/preseed/nslcd.debconf")"
