+.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

+.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).

+\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
+Print all files that are touched.
+.TP
+\fB\-\-max\-line\-length=\fImax_line_length\fR
