# utrans-deb(1)

apply utrans to all systemd units in given deb files

## NAME

`utrans-deb` - apply *utrans* to all systemd units in given deb files

## SYNOPSIS

`utrans [ -b <BACKENDS> ] <DEB-FILE>*`

## OPTIONS

The following commandline options are supported:-

- **-b \<BACKENDS\>**

  use the comma-separated list of backends for all *utrans* calls. The last mentioned backend of each type (service, socket, timer) will be used.

## DESCRIPTION

`utrans-deb` uses *utrans* to translate systemd services, sockets and timers in given *deb* files to corresponding generic UNIX configuration and scripting as used in alternative settings that exclude systemd.

The translation creates a temporary working directory in the current directory for unpacking of all *deb* given files and translation of their units. The result is packed up into a tar file named as the first *deb* file with "-services.tgz" appended.
