Normally, the script presents the information in a human readable
tabular format, but that may be harder for a machine to parse. With
this option, the output is a compact, colon separated line, with no
dividers, headers, or footer.

Set the state directory to \f(CW\*(C`/path/to/dir\*(C'\fR instead of the default

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This script takes a set of arguments, each of which is a package name
(and thus does not contain a /) or a full path to a configuration
file, and outputs the associated package, if any, if the file exists
on disk, and whether it has been modified by the user.  The output is
either a human readable tabular form, or a compact colon-separated
machine friendly format.
.PP
This script can potentially be used in package \f(CW\*(C`postrm\*(C'\fR scripts
during purge to query the system for configuration files that may
still exist on the system, and whether these files have been locally
modified by the user \*(-- assuming that the package registered all the
configuration files with \fBucf\fR using \f(CW\*(C`ucfr\*(C'\fR.
.SH "CAVEATS"
This is very inchoate, at the moment, and needs testing.
.SH "BUGS"
None Known so far.
