## 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.
