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, and passes in some
       additional useful flags.

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.
