NAME

6       deb-md5sums - package MD5 file digests
7

SYNOPSIS

9       DEBIAN/md5sums
10

DESCRIPTION

12       A package declares the MD5 digests for the package file contents by
13       including an md5sums file in its control archive (i.e. DEBIAN/md5sums
14       during package creation). This file is used for integrity verification
15       and deduplication purposes, and not for any kind of security purpose.
16
17       This file contains a list of MD5 digests (as 32 case-insensitive
18       hexadecimal characters) followed by two spaces (U+0020 SPACE) and the
19       absolute pathname of a plain file, one per line.
20
21       Trailing slashes (U+002F /) in the pathname will be trimmed.  Neither
22       trailing whitespace nor empty or whitespace-only lines are accepted.
23
24       If the control file does not exist in the binary package, dpkg(1) will
25       generate the matching information at unpack time (since dpkg 1.16.3).
