APTITUDE-RUN-STATE(1)	    Command-line reference	 APTITUDE-RUN-STATE(1)

NAME
       aptitude-run-state-bundle - unpack an aptitude state bundle and invoke
       aptitude on it

SYNOPSIS
       aptitude-run-state-bundle [<options>...] <input-file>
				 [<program> [<arguments>...]]

DESCRIPTION
       aptitude-run-state-bundle unpacks the given aptitude state bundle
       created by aptitude-create-state-bundle(1) to a temporary directory,
       invokes <program> on it with the supplied <arguments>, and removes the
       temporary directory afterwards. If <program> is not supplied, it
       defaults to aptitude(8).

OPTIONS
       The following options may occur on the command-line before the input
       file. Options following the input file are presumed to be arguments to
       aptitude.

       --append-args
	   Place the options that give the location of the state bundle at the
	   end of the command line when invoking <program>, rather than at the
	   beginning (the default is to place options at the beginning).

       --help
	   Display a brief usage summary.

       --prepend-args
	   Place the options that give the location of the state bundle at the
	   beginning of the command line when invoking <program>, overriding
	   any previous --append-args (the default is to place options at the
	   beginning).

       --no-clean
	   Do not remove the unpacked state directory after running aptitude.
	   You might want to use this if, for instance, you are debugging a
	   problem that appears when aptitude's state file is modified. When
	   aptitude finishes running, the name of the state directory will be
	   printed so that you can access it in the future.

	   This option is enabled automatically by --statedir.

       --really-clean
	   Delete the state directory after running aptitude, even if
	   --no-clean or --statedir was supplied.

       --statedir
	   Instead of treating the input file as a state bundle, treat it as
	   an unpacked state bundle. For instance, you can use this to access
	   the state directory that was created by a prior run with
	   --no-clean.

       --unpack
	   Unpack the input file to a temporary directory, but don't actually
	   run aptitude.
