## NAME
           select-default-wordlist - select default wordlist

## SYNOPSIS
        select-default-wordlist [options]

         Options (all long only options):
           --set-default='regexp' Try 'regexp' to get a single match and set
                                  it as default. Fail otherwise.
           --show-choices         Show available choices to STDERR and exit.
           --debug                Enable debug mode

## DESCRIPTION
       This program is responsible for selecting default wordlist.

       If **--show-choices** is used will just output a list of available choices to STDERR and exit.
       STDOUT cannot be used, this program loads **debconf** and **debconf** captures STDOUT.

       If **--set-default** is used, program will try to get a single regexp match from available
       choices, failing if not.  Will try case dependent match first, then case independent.

       If **--set-default** is not used this program will make debconf always ask the shared question
       about the default wordlist to be used in your system according to the installed ones.

       In both cases, will do the appropriate settings if needed.

       Calls internally **update-default-wordlist**.
