[_CVS-DEBC_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/CVS-DEBC/1/markdown)                            General Commands Manual                           [_CVS-DEBC_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/CVS-DEBC/1/markdown)

## NAME
       cvs-debc - view contents of a cvs-buildpackage/cvs-debuild generated package

## SYNOPSIS
       **cvs-debc **[_options_] [_package_ ...]

## DESCRIPTION
       **cvs-debc  **is  run  from  the CVS working directory after **cvs-buildpackage **or **cvs-debuild**.  It
       uses the **cvs-buildpackage **system to locate the _.changes_ file generated in that run.  It  then
       displays  information about the _.deb_ files which were generated in that run, by running **dpkg-**
       **deb -I **and **dpkg-deb -c **on every _.deb_ archive listed in the _.changes_ file, assuming  that  all
       of  the  _.deb_ archives live in the same directory as the _.changes_ file.  It is useful for en‐
       suring that the expected files have ended up in the Debian package.

       If a list of packages is given on the command line, then only those debs with names  in  this
       list of packages will be processed.

       Note  that  unlike  **cvs-buildpackage**, the only way to specify the source package name is with
       the **-P **option; you cannot simply have it as the last command-line parameter.

## OPTIONS
       All current **cvs-buildpackage **options are silently accepted; however, only the ones listed be‐
       low have any effect.  For more details on all of them, see the [**cvs-buildpackage**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/cvs-buildpackage/1/markdown) manpage.

### -a_ -t_
              See [**dpkg-architecture**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/dpkg-architecture/1/markdown) for a description of these options.  They affect  the  search
              for  the _.changes_ file.  They are provided to mimic the behaviour of **dpkg-buildpackage**
              when determining the name of the _.changes_ file.

### -M_
              The name of the CVS module.

### -P_
              The name of the package.

### -V_
              The version number of the package.

### -T_

### -R_
              Root of the original sources archive.

### -W_
              The full path name for the cvs-buildpackage working directory.

### -x_
              This option provides the CVS default module prefix.

       **--help**, **--version**
              Show help message and version information respectively.
