# umegaya-guess-url(1)

Guesses a package name from a VCS URL.

## NAME

umegaya-guess-url - Guesses a package name from a VCS URL.

## SYNOPSIS

umegaya-guess-url VCS\_URL

## DESCRIPTION

VCS (version control system) URLs indicate where to clone or check out anonymously source packages. `umegaya-guess-url` attempts to guess the package name when only this URL is known. This is useful when harvesting VCS URLs from the tasks files of Debian Pure Blends.

## RETURNS

A package name, followed by a tabulation, followed by an URL.

## EXAMPLE

-

  ```
  $ umegaya-guess-url $(debcheckout -d emboss | grep url | cut -f2)
  emboss
  ```
