## 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.


## AUTHOR
       **apport** and the accompanying tools are developed by Martin Pitt <<martin.pitt@ubuntu.com>>.
