NAME
       dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-distaddfile [options] filename section priority

DESCRIPTION
       dpkg-distaddfile adds an entry for a named file to debian/files.

       It takes three non-option arguments, the filename and the section and priority for the .changes file.

       The  filename  should  be  specified relative to the directory where dpkg-genchanges will expect to find the files, usually .., rather than
       being a pathname relative to the current directory when dpkg-distaddfile is run.

OPTIONS
       -ffileslistfile
	      Read or write the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using debian/files.

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

       --version
	      Show the version and exit.

FILES
       debian/files
	      The list of generated files which are part of the upload being prepared.	dpkg-distaddfile can be used to add additional files.
