NAME

dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file

SYNOPSIS

dh_gencontrol [debhelper options] [-- 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.
