+.SH NAME
+dpkg\-gencontrol \- generate Debian control files
+.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dpkg\-gencontrol
+.RI [ option ...]
+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B dpkg\-gencontrol
+reads information from an unpacked Debian source tree and generates a
+binary package control file (which defaults to debian/tmp/DEBIAN/control);
+during this process it will simplify the relation fields.
+.sp
+Thus
+.BR Pre\-Depends ", " Depends ", " Recommends " and " Suggests
+are simplified in this
+order by removing dependencies which are known to be true according to the
+stronger dependencies already parsed. It will also remove any self-dependency
+(in fact it will remove any dependency which evaluates to true given the
+current version of the package as installed). Logically it keeps the
+intersection of multiple dependencies on the same package. The order
+of dependencies is preserved as best as possible: if any dependency
+must be discarded due to another dependency appearing further
+in the field, the superseding dependency will take the place of the
+discarded one.
+.sp
+The other relation fields
+.RB ( Enhances ", " Conflicts ", " Breaks ", " Replaces " and " Provides )
+are also simplified individually by computing the union of the various
+dependencies when a package is listed multiple times in the field.
+.sp
+.B dpkg\-gencontrol
+also adds an entry for the binary package to
+.BR debian/files .
+.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-v version
+Sets the version number of the binary package which will be generated.
+.TP
+.BI \-V name = value
+Set an output substitution variable. See \fBdeb\-substvars\fP(5) for
+discussion of output substitution.
+.TP
+.BI \-T substvars-file
+Read substitution variables in
+.IR substvars-file ;
+the default is
+.BR debian/substvars .
+This option can be used multiple times to read substitution variables from
+multiple files (since dpkg 1.15.6).
+.TP
+.BI \-D field = value
+Override or add an output control file field.
+.TP
+.BI \-U field
+Remove an output control file field.
+.TP
+.BI \-c control-file
+Specifies the main source control file to read information from. The
+default is
+.BR debian/control .
+.TP
+.BI \-l changelog-file
+Specifies the changelog file to read information from. The
+default is
+.BR debian/changelog .
+.TP
+.BI \-f files-list-file
+Read or write the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using
+.BR debian/files .
+.TP
+.BI \-F changelog-format
+Specifies the format of the changelog. See \fBdpkg\-parsechangelog\fP(1)
+for information about alternative formats.
+.TP
+.BI \-p package
+Generate information for the binary package
+.IR package .
+If the source control file lists only one binary package then this
+option may be omitted; otherwise it is essential to select which
+binary package's information to generate.
+.TP
+.BI \-n filename
+Assume the filename of the package will be
+.I filename
+instead of the normal package_version_arch.deb filename.
+.TP
+.BR \-is ", " \-ip ", " \-isp
+These options are ignored for compatibility with older versions of the dpkg
+build scripts but are now deprecated. Previously they were used to tell
+\fBdpkg\-gencontrol\fP to include the Section and Priority fields in the
+control file. This is now the default behaviour. If you want to
+get the old behaviour you can use the
+.B \-U
+option to delete the fields from the control file.
+.TP
+.BI \-P package-build-dir
+Tells
+.B dpkg\-source
+that the package is being built in
+.I package-build-dir
+instead of
+.BR debian/tmp .
+This value is used to find the default value of the
+.B Installed\-Size
+substitution variable and control file field (using
+.BR du ),
+and for the default location of the output file.
+.TP
+.BR \-O [\fIfilename\fP]
+Print the control file to standard output (or \fIfilename\fP if specified,
+since dpkg 1.17.2), rather than to
+.B debian/tmp/DEBIAN/control
+(or
+.IB package-build-dir /DEBIAN/control
+if
+.B \-P
+was used).
+.TP
+.BR \-? ", " \-\-help
+Show the usage message and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-\-version
+Show the version and exit.
+.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B DPKG_COLORS
+Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).
+The currently accepted values are: \fBauto\fP (default), \fBalways\fP and
+\fBnever\fP.
+.TP
+.B DPKG_NLS
+If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native Language Support,
+also known as internationalization (or i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0).
+The accepted values are: \fB0\fP and \fB1\fP (default).
+.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.B debian/control
+The main source control information file, giving version-independent
+information about the source package and the binary packages it can
+produce.
+.TP
+.B debian/files
+The list of generated files which are part of the upload being
+prepared.
+.B dpkg\-gencontrol
+adds the presumed filenames of binary packages whose control files it
+generates here.
