# gitdpkgname(1)

GNU Interactive Tools - gitdpkgname helper script

## NAME

gitdpkgname - GNU Interactive Tools - gitdpkgname helper script

## SYNTAX

*gitdpkgname \[file...\]*

## DESCRIPTION

gitdpkgname is a very small script that is used by [gitfm(1)](/gitfm/1.md) when using any of the ^C^D commands that expect a debian packagename.

For each argument that ends in .deb, gitdpkgname queries the named package for its name and prints it. All other arguments are printed unchanged.

This enables commands (e.g. ^C^DL) expecting a packagename to be given a .deb file, and the packagename will be extracted automatically.
