+.SH NAME
+deb\-split \- Debian multi-part binary package format
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.IB filename .deb
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The multi-part \fB.deb\fP format is used to split big packages into smaller
+pieces to ease transport in small media.
+.SH FORMAT
+The file is an \fBar\fP archive with a magic value of \fB!<arch>\fP.
+The file names might contain a trailing slash (since dpkg 1.15.6).
+.PP
+The first member is named \fBdebian\-split\fP and contains a series
+of lines, separated by newlines. Currently eight lines are present:
+.IP • 4
+The format version number, \fB2.1\fP at the time this manual page was
+written.
+.IP •
+The package name.
+.IP •
+The package version.
+.IP •
+The md5sum of the package.
+.IP •
+The total size of the package.
+.IP •
+The maximum part size.
+.IP •
+The current part number, followed by a slash and the total amount of
+parts (as in ‘1/10’).
+.IP •
+The package architecture (since dpkg 1.16.1).
+.PP
+Programs which read multi-part archives should be prepared for the minor
+format version number to be increased and additional lines to be present,
+and should ignore these if this is the case.
+.PP
+If the major format version number has changed, an incompatible change has
+been made and the program should stop. If it has not, then the program should
+be able to safely continue, unless it encounters an unexpected member
+in the archive (except at the end), as described below.
+.PP
+The second, last required member is named \fBdata.\fP\fIN\fP, where \fIN\fP
+denotes the part number. It contains the raw part data.
+.PP
+These members must occur in this exact order. Current implementations
+should ignore any additional members after \fBdata.\fP\fIN\fP.
+Further members may be defined in the future, and (if possible) will be
+placed after these two.
