.TH WRAP\-AND\-SORT 1 "Debian Utilities" "DEBIAN"
.SH NAME
wrap-and-sort \- wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B wrap-and-sort
[\fIoptions\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBwrap\-and\-sort\fP wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By
default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are longer
than the maximum line length limit of 79 characters. \fBwrap\-and\-sort\fP sorts
the package lists in Debian control files and all \fI.dirs\fR, \fI.docs\fR,
\fI.examples\fR, \fI.info\fR, \fI.install\fR, \fI.links\fR, \fI.maintscript\fR,
and \fI.manpages\fR files. Beside that \fBwrap\-and\-sort\fP removes trailing
spaces in these files.
.PP
This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for
\fIcontrol\fR, \fIcontrol*.in\fR, \fIcopyright\fR, \fIcopyright.in\fR,
\fIinstall\fR, and \fI*.install\fR in the \fIdebian\fR directory.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Show this help message and exit.
.TP
\fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-wrap\-always\fR
Wrap all package lists in the Debian \fIcontrol\fR file
even if they do not exceed the line length limit and could fit in one line.
.TP
\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-short\-indent\fR
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in\-line with the
field name).
.TP
\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-sort\-binary\-packages\fR
Sort binary package paragraphs by name.
.TP
\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-keep\-first\fR
When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top.
Unqualified
.BR debhelper (7)
configuration files are applied to the first package.
.TP
\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-no\-cleanup\fR
Do not remove trailing whitespaces.
.TP
\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-trailing-comma\fR
Add a trailing comma at the end of the sorted fields.
This minimizes future differences in the VCS commits when additional
dependencies are appended or removed.
.TP
\fB\-d \fIpath\fR, \fB\-\-debian\-directory=\fIpath\fR
Location of the \fIdebian\fR directory (default: \fI./debian\fR).
.TP
\fB\-f \fIfile\fR, \fB\-\-file=\fIfile\fR
Wrap and sort only the specified \fIfile\fR.
You can specify this parameter multiple times.
All supported files will be processed if no files are specified.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
Print all files that are touched.
.TP
\fB\-\-max\-line\-length=\fImax_line_length\fR
Set the maximum allowed line length. Package lists in the Debian \fIcontrol\fR
file that exceed this length limit will be wrapped.
The default maximum line length is 79 characters.
.TP
\fB\-N\fR, \fB\-\-dry\-run\fR
Do not modify any file, instead only print the files that would be modified.
.TP
\fB\-\-experimental\-rts\-parser\fR
Enable the experimental round\-trip safe parser. When enabled, most comments
in deb822 control will be preserved.
The option is a temporary means to enable users to opt-in to this new experimental
feature. The option will be removed once the new parser is mature enough and is
ready to unconditionally replace the previous parser.
This option requires python\-debian version 0.1.43 or later to work. However, some
features will require 0.1.44 or later.
