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.
