.SH NAME
xdpkg-checkbuilddeps \- check whether a package's build dependencies are
fulfilled
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xdpkg-checkbuilddeps
.RI [ \-B ]
.RI [ \-p
package ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
xdpkg-checkbuilddeps reads the debian/xcontrol (or debian/control, if the
former does not exist), and tests whether the packages mentioned in the
Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Tools and Build-Depends-Indep are currently
fulfilled.
.SH OPTIONS
The -B option specifies that the Build-Depends-Indep field should be
ignored, as only architecture-dependent packages will be built.
.PP
The -p option allows you to query the per-package build-dependencies for
a specific package. If no -p options are given, all non-optional
non-bootstrap packages are selected.
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR xcontrol (1).
