       debian-distro-info - provides information about Debian's distributions

Options

--date=DATE
              date for calculating the version (default: epoch taken from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable
              if set, otherwise today)

       -h, --help
              display help message and exit

       --alias=DIST
              print  the  alias  (oldstable,  stable,  testing,  unstable) relative to the distribution codename
              passed as an argument.  Only distribution codenames composed  of  lower  case  ASCII  letters  are
              accepted,  and  if  the  distribution does not qualify as oldstable, stable, testing, or unstable,
              then the same codename passed as argument is returned.

       -a, --all
              list all known versions

       -y[MILESTONE], --days[=MILESTONE]
              display number of days until specified version reaches the specified milestone.  MILESTONE may  be
              one  of created, release, or eol.  If no milestone is specified, assume release.  For options that
              return a list, display the normal output followed by whitespace and the number of days  until  the
              specified  milestone.   If  milestone  cannot  be calculated, the string '(unknown)' is displayed.
              Unless one of -c, -f or -r is specified, only the number of days will be displayed.

       -d, --devel
              latest development version

       -o, --old
              latest old (stable) version

       -t, --testing
              latest testing version

       --unsupported
              list of all unsupported stable versions

       -c, --codename
