	      otherwise today)

	      display help message and exit

       --alias=DIST
	      print the alias (oldstable, stable, testing, unstable) relative to the distribution codename passed as an	 ar‐
	      gument.	Only  distribution codenames composed of lower case ASCII letters are accepted, and if the distribu‐
	      tion does not qualify as oldstable, stable, testing, or unstable, then the same codename passed as argument is
	      returned.

       -y[MILESTONE], --days[=MILESTONE]
	      display number of days until specified version reaches the specified milestone.  MILESTONE may be one of	cre‐
	      ated, release, or eol.  If no milestone is specified, assume release.  For options that return a list, display
	      the  normal  output followed by whitespace and the number of days until the specified milestone.	If milestone
	      cannot be calculated, the string '(unknown)' is displayed.  Unless one of -c, -f or -r is specified, only	 the
	      number of days will be displayed.
