+=head1 NAME

+dh_dwz - optimize DWARF debug information in ELF binaries via dwz
+

+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dh_dwz> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-X>I<item>] [S<B<--> I<params>>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<dh_dwz> is a debhelper program that will optimize the (uncompressed)
+size of the DWARF debug information in ELF binaries. It does so by
+running L<dwz(1)> on all the ELF binaries in the package.
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<--dwz-multifile>, B<--no-dwz-multifile>
+
+Whether L<dwz(1)> should generate a I<multifile> from the ELF binaries
+in the same package. When enabled, if a package ships at least 2 ELF
+binaries, B<dh_dwz> will instruct L<dwz(1)> to generate a multifile
+for the package.
+
+By default, B<dh_dwz> will attempt to create a multifile but will
+continue without if L<dwz(1)> does not create one (but succeeds anyway).
+This commonly happens when the debug files do not contain debug
+symbols (e.g. a missing -g to the compiler) or when the debug
+symbols are compressed (see Debian bug #931891). If B<--dwz-multifile>
+is passed, then B<dh_dwz> will abort with an error if L<dwz(1)> does
+not create a multifile.
+
+Note this options may not work if a package contains more ELF binaries
+than can fit on a single command line. If this becomes a problem,
+please pass B<--no-dwz-multifile> to work around the issue.
+
+The generated multifile will be compressed with B<objcopy
+--compress-debug-sections>.
+
+Note for B<udeb> packages: B<dh_dwz> will never generate multifiles
+for B<udeb> packages. It will still use B<dwz> to reduce the
+file size of debug files if it finds any.
+
+=item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>
+
+Exclude files that contain I<item> anywhere in their filename from being
+stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of
+things to exclude.
+
+=item B<--> I<params>
+
+Pass I<params> to L<dwz(1)> when it processes ELF binaries. This is
+mostly useful for setting memory related parameters (e.g. -l and -L).
+
+=back
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+If the B<DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS> environment variable contains B<nostrip>,
+nothing will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy (section
+10.1 "Binaries").
+
+While this tool technically does not remove debug information from
+binaries, it is still skipped when the B<DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS>
+environment variable contains B<nostrip>. This is because B<nostrip>
+is often used to optimize build times (e.g. for "build and
+test"-cycles) rather than optimizing for size.
