dh_gencontrol

DH_GENCONTROL(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_GENCONTROL(1)

NAME

       dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file

SYNOPSIS

       dh_gencontrol [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with
       the proper permissions.

       This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-gencontrol(1), which calls it once for each package being acted on (plus related dbgsym
       packages), and passes in some additional useful flags.

       Note that if you use dh_gencontrol, you must also use dh_builddeb(1) to build the packages.  Otherwise, your build may fail to build as
       dh_gencontrol (via dpkg-gencontrol(1)) declares which packages are built.  As debhelper automatically generates dbgsym packages, it some
       times adds additional packages, which will be built by dh_builddeb(1).

OPTIONS

       -- params
	   Pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).

       -uparams, --dpkg-gencontrol-params=params
	   This is another way to pass params to dpkg-gencontrol(1).  It is deprecated; use -- instead.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
