debconf-escape - helper when working with debconf's escape capability
Contents
Description
When debconf has the 'escape' capability set, it will expect commands you send it to have backslashes and
newlines escaped (as "\\" and "\n" respectively) and will in turn escape backslashes and newlines in its
replies. This can be used, for example, to substitute multi-line strings into templates, or to get multi-
line extended descriptions reliably using "METAGET".
