The allowed values are: .RS .TP .B any Generate build information including unqualified build dependencies (\fBBuild\-Depends\fP) and architecture specific build dependencies (\fBBuild\-Depends\-Arch\fP). .TP .B all Generate build information including unqualified build dependencies (\fBBuild\-Depends\fP) and architecture independent build dependencies (\fBBuild\-Depends\-Indep\fP). .TP .B source Effectively ignored; generate build information with just the unqualified build dependencies (\fBBuild\-Depends\fP). .TP .B binary Generate build information with all three types of build dependencies. This is an alias for \fBany,all\fP. .TP .B full Generate build information with all three types of build dependencies. This is an alias for \fBany,all,source\fP, and the same as the default case when no build option is specified. .RE .TP .BI \-c controlfile Specifies the main source control file to read information from. The default is .BR debian/control . .TP .BI \-l changelog-file Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The default is .BR debian/changelog . .TP .BI \-f files-list-file Specifies where is the list of files that have been produced by the build, rather than using .BR debian/files . .TP .BI \-F changelog-format Specifies the format of the changelog. See \fBdpkg\-parsechangelog\fP(1) for information about alternative formats. .TP .BR \-O [\fIfilename\fP] Print the buildinfo file to standard output (or \fIfilename\fP if specified) rather than to .IB dir / source-name _ binary-version _ arch .buildinfo (where \fIdir\fP is \fB..\fP by default or \fIupload-files-dir\fP if \fB\-u\fP was used). .TP .BI \-u upload-files-dir Look for the files to be uploaded in .I upload-files-dir rather than .B .. (\fBdpkg\-genbuildinfo\fP needs to find these files so that it can include their sizes and checksums in the \fB.buildinfo\fP file). .TP .BI \-\-always\-include\-kernel By default, the \fBBuild\-Kernel-Version\fR field will not be written out. Specify this option (since dpkg 1.19.0) to always write a \fBBuild\-Kernel\-Version\fR field when generating the \fB.buildinfo\fR. .TP .BI \-\-always\-include\-path By default, the \fBBuild\-Path\fR field will only be written if the current directory starts with a whitelisted pattern. On Debian and derivatives the pattern matches on \fB/build/\fR at the start of the pathname. Specify this option to always write a \fBBuild\-Path\fR field when generating the \fB.buildinfo\fR. .TP .BI \-\-admindir= dir Change the location of the \fBdpkg\fR database. The default location is \fI/var/lib/dpkg\fP. .TP .B \-q .B dpkg\-genbuildinfo might produce informative messages on standard error. .B \-q suppresses these messages. .TP .BR \-? ", " \-\-help Show the usage message and exit. .TP .BR \-\-version Show the version and exit. . .SH ENVIRONMENT .TP .B DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS This variable can be used to enable or disable various features that affect the information included in the .buildinfo file, via the \fBbuildinfo\fP option (since dpkg 1.18.19). This option contains a comma-separated list of features, prefixed with the \(oq\fB+\fP\(cq or \(oq\fB\-\fP\(cq modifiers, to denote whether to enable or disable them. The special feature \(lq\fBall\fP\(rq can be used to enable or disable all other features. The feature \(lq\fBpath\fP\(rq controls whether to unconditionally include the \fBBuild\-Path\fP field. .TP .B DPKG_COLORS Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5). The currently accepted values are: \fBauto\fP (default), \fBalways\fP and \fBnever\fP. .TP .B 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: \fB0\fP and \fB1\fP (default). . .SH FILES .TP .B debian/files The list of generated files. .B dpkg\-genbuildinfo reads the data here when producing a .B .buildinfo file. . .SH SEE ALSO .BR deb-buildinfo (5).
