NAME
       apport-unpack - extract the fields of a problem report to separate files


SYNOPSIS
       apport-unpack report target-directory


DESCRIPTION
       A problem report, as produced by apport is a single file with a set of key/value pairs in the
       RFC822 syntax. This tool disassembles a report such that the value of each entry  is  written
       into a separate file, with the key as file name. This is particularly useful for large binary
       data like the core dump.

       report is either a path to an existing apport crash report, or '-' to read from stdin.

       The target-directory must either be nonexisting or empty.
