NAME

6       dh_md5sums - generate DEBIAN/md5sums file

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_md5sums [debhelper options] [-x] [-Xitem] [--include-conffiles]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_md5sums is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating a
13       DEBIAN/md5sums file, which lists the md5sums of each file in the
14       package.  These files are used by dpkg --verify or the debsums(1)
15       program.
16
17       All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as are all
18       conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles switch).
19
20       The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and ownerships.
21

OPTIONS

23       -x, --include-conffiles
24           Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this information
25           is redundant since it is included in /var/lib/dpkg/status in Debian
26           packages.
27
28       -Xitem, --exclude=item
29           Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
30           being listed in the md5sums file.
