NAME

       dh_sodeps - generate library dependencies for development *.so symlinks

SYNOPSIS

       dh_sodeps [debhelper options] [-Vversioninfo]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_sodeps is a helper program that generates library dependencies for *.so symlinks that are typically found in the library development
       packages.

       It basically looks for usr/lib/*.so in the package build directory, finds all local arch specific packages that actually contain targets of
       those symlinks and adds dependencies on the discovered packages to the "so:Depends" substitution variable. Dependencies are strict by
       default, i.e.  (=${binary:Version}) if the package containing *.so is arch specific or (>=${source:Version}) if it is arch independent.

OPTIONS

       -Vversioninfo, --version-info=versioninfo
	   Use the specified version information for dependencies. If this option is not specified, dh_sodeps will generate a strict dependency as
	   explained above.  Please note that you don't need to enclose the value in brackets. dh_sodeps will do this automatically.

       -Xitem, --exclude item
	   Do not calculate dependencies for *.so files that contain "item" anywhere in their path/filename. You may use this option multiple
	   times to build up a list of things to exclude.
