+.SH NAME
+deb\-shlibs \- Debian shared library information file
+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.B shlibs
+files map shared library names and versions
+.RI ( sonames )
+to dependencies suitable for a package control file.  There is one
+entry per line. Blank lines are \fBnot\fP allowed.  Lines beginning
+with an \fB#\fP character are considered commentary, and are ignored.
+All other lines must have the format
+.IP
+.RI [ type\fB:\fP ]
+.I library
+.I version
+.I dependencies
+.PP
+The \fIlibrary\fP and \fIversion\fP fields are whitespace-delimited,
+but the \fIdependencies\fP field extends to the end of the line.  The
+\fItype\fP field is optional and normally not needed.
+.PP
+The \fIdependencies\fP field has the same syntax as the \fBDepends\fP
+field in a binary control file, see \fBdeb\-control\fP(5).
+.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.PP
+The
+.B shlibs
+file for a typical library package, named
+.IR libcrunch1 ,
+that provides one library whose soname is
+.IR libcrunch.so.1 ,
+might read
+.IP
+libcrunch 1 libcrunch1 (>= 1.2-1)
+.PP
+The \fIdependencies\fP
+must mention the most recent version of the package that added new
+symbols to the library: in the above example, new symbols were added to
+version 1.2 of
+.IR libcrunch .
+This is not the only reason the dependencies might need to be
+tightened.
