dpkg-distaddfile(1)                          dpkg suite                          dpkg-distaddfile(1)



NAME
       dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-distaddfile [option...] 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
       -ffiles-list-file
           Read or write the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using debian/files.

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

       --version
           Show the version and exit.

           (default), always and never.

       DPKG_NLS
           If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native Language Support, also known
           as internationalization (or i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0).  The accepted values are:
           0 and 1 (default).
