NAME
       dpkg-checkbuilddeps - check build dependencies and conflicts

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-checkbuilddeps [options] [control-file]

DESCRIPTION
       This  program checks the installed packages in the system against the build dependencies and build conflicts listed in the control file. If
       any are not met, it displays them and exits with a nonzero return code.

       By default, debian/control is read, but an alternate control filename may be specified on the command line.

OPTIONS
       --admindir=dir
	      Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location is /var/lib/dpkg.

       -B     Ignore Build-Depends-Indep lines. Use when no arch-indep packages will be built.

       -d build-depends-string

       -c build-conflicts-string
	      Use the given build dependencies/conflicts instead of those contained in the debian/control file.

       -h, --help
	      Show the usage message and exit.

       --version
	      Show the version and exit.
