-d " destination, " --destdir " destination" Directory to place retrieved packages.
-f ", " --force Force writing into an existing destination. By default debsnap will insist the destination directory does not exist yet unless it is explicitly specified to be '.' (the current working directory). This is to avoid files being accidentally overwritten by what is fetched from the archive and to provide a guarantee for other scripts that only the files fetched will be present there upon completion.
-v ", " --verbose Report on the debsnap configuration being used and progress during the download operation. Please always use this option when reporting bugs.
--list Don't download but just list versions.
--binary Download binary packages instead of source packages.
-a ", " --architecture Specify architecture of downloaded binary packages. Implies --binary. This can be given multiple times in order to download binary packages for multiple architectures.
--first Specify the minimum version of a package which will be downloaded. Any versions which compare larger than this, according to dpkg, will be considered for download. May be used in combination with --last.
--last Specify the maximum version of a package which will be downloaded. Any package versions which compare less than this, according to dpkg, will be considered for download. May be used in combination with --first.
-h ", " --help Show a summary of these options.
--version Show the version of debsnap.
DEBSNAP_VERBOSE Same as the command line option --verbose. Set to yes to enable.
DEBSNAP_DESTDIR Set a default path for the destination directory. If unset ./source-<package_name> will be used. The command line option --destdir will override this.
