.TH UPDATECONF 8
.SH NAME
updateconf \- interactive .new configuration file merge tool
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
\fBupdateconf\fR is an interactive tool for handling \fI.new\fR configuration
files. When packages are upgraded, new default configuration files are installed
with a \fI.new\fR suffix to avoid overwriting locally modified files.
\fBupdateconf\fR helps merge, discard, or keep these files.
.SH USAGE
.LP
\f(CRupdateconf\fR

Must be run as root. The script scans \fI/etc\fR for files ending in \fI.new\fR
and presents each one interactively.
.SH INTERACTIVE PROMPT

shown, and the user is prompted:

\fBD\fR
Discard: delete the \fI.new\fR file, keeping the current version.
