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.
