--build=type
Specifies the build type from a comma-separated list of
components.
The allowed values are:
any Generate build information including unqualified
build dependencies (Build-Depends) and architecture
specific build dependencies (Build-Depends-Arch).
all Generate build information including unqualified
build dependencies (Build-Depends) and architecture
independent build dependencies
(Build-Depends-Indep).
source Effectively ignored; generate build information
with just the unqualified build dependencies
(Build-Depends).
binary Generate build information with all three types of
build dependencies. This is an alias for any,all.
full Generate build information with all three types of
build dependencies. This is an alias for
any,all,source, and the same as the default case
when no build option is specified.
-ccontrolfile
Specifies the main source control file to read information
from. The default is debian/control.
-lchangelog-file
Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The
default is debian/changelog.
-ffiles-list-file
Specifies where is the list of files that have been
produced by the build, rather than using debian/files.
-Fchangelog-format
Specifies the format of the changelog. See
dpkg-parsechangelog(1) for information about alternative
formats.
-O[filename]
Print the buildinfo file to standard output (or filename
if specified) rather than to dir/source-name_binary-
version_arch.buildinfo (where dir is .. by default or
upload-files-dir if -u was used).
-uupload-files-dir
Look for the files to be uploaded in upload-files-dir
rather than .. (dpkg-genbuildinfo needs to find these
files so that it can include their sizes and checksums in
the .buildinfo file).
--always-include-kernel
By default, the Build-Kernel-Version field will not be
written out.
Specify this option (since dpkg 1.19.0) to always write a
Build-Kernel-Version field when generating the .buildinfo.
--always-include-path
By default, the Build-Path field will only be written if
the current directory starts with a whitelisted pattern.
On Debian and derivatives the pattern matches on /build/
at the start of the pathname.
Specify this option to always write a Build-Path field
when generating the .buildinfo.
--admindir=dir
Change the location of the dpkg database. The default
location is /var/lib/dpkg.
-q dpkg-genbuildinfo might produce informative messages on
standard error. -q suppresses these messages.
-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
