The list can +be trimmed in various ways as described in the options below. A good +example of this program would be the command \fBdpkg-depcheck \-b +debian/rules build\fR, which would give a good first approximation to +the Build-Depends line needed by a Debian package. Note, however, +that this does \fInot\fR give any direct information on versions +required or architecture-specific packages. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BR \-a ", " \-\-all +Report all packages used to run \fIcommand\fR. This is the default +behaviour. If used in conjunction with \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-d\fR or +\fB\-m\fR, gives additional information on those packages skipped by +these options. +.TP +.BR \-b ", " \-\-build-depends +Do not report any build-essential or essential packages used, or any +of their (direct or indirect) dependencies. +.TP +.BR \-d ", " \-\-ignore-dev-deps +Do not show packages used which are direct dependencies of \fI\-dev\fR +packages used. This implies \fB\-b\fR. +.TP +.BR \-m ", " \-\-min-deps +Output a minimal set of packages needed, taking into account direct +dependencies. Using \fB\-m\fR implies \fB\-d\fR and also \fB\-b\fR. +.TP +.BR \-C ", " \-\-C-locale +Run \fIcommand\fR with the C locale. +.TP +.BR \-\-no-C-locale +Don't change locale when running \fIcommand\fR. +.TP +.BR \-l ", " \-\-list-files +Also report the list of files used in each package. +.TP +.BR \-\-no-list-files +Do not report the files used in each package. Cancels a \fB\-l\fR +option. +.TP +\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output=\fIFILE\fR +Output the package diagnostics to \fIFILE\fR instead of stdout. +.TP +\fB\-O\fR, \fB\-\-strace-output=\fIFILE\fR +Write the \fBstrace\fR output to \fIFILE\fR when tracing \fIcommand\fR +instead of using a temporary file. +.TP +\fB\-I\fR, \fB\-\-strace-input=\fIFILE\fR +Get \fBstrace\fR output from \fIFILE\fR instead of tracing +\fIcommand\fR; \fBstrace\fR must have be run with the \fB\-f \-q\fR +options for this to work. +.TP +\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-features=\fILIST\fR +Enable or disabled features given in the comma-separated \fILIST\fR as +follows. A feature is enabled with \fI+feature\fR or just +\fIfeature\fR and disabled with \fI\-feature\fR. The currently +recognised features are: +.PD 0 +.RS +.TP +.B warn\-local +Warn if files in \fI/usr/local\fR or \fI/var/local\fR are used. +Enabled by default. +.TP +.B discard-check-version +Discards \fIexecve\fR when only a \fI\-\-version\fR argument is given +to the program; this works around some configure scripts that check +for binaries they don't actually use. Enabled by default. +.TP +.B trace-local +Also try to identify files which are accessed in \fI/usr/local\fR and +\fI/var/local\fR. Not usually very useful, as Debian does not place +files in these directories. Disabled by default. +.TP +.B catch-alternatives +Warn about access to files controlled by the Debian \fIalternatives\fR +mechanism. Enabled by default. +.TP +.B discard-sgml-catalogs +Discards access to SGML catalogs; some SGML tools read all the registered +catalogs at startup. Files matching the regexp /usr/share/sgml/.*\\.cat are +recognised as catalogs. Enabled by default. +.PD +.RE +.TP +\fB\-\-no-conf\fR, \fB\-\-noconf\fR +Do not read any configuration files. This can only be used as the +first option given on the command-line. +.TP +.BR \-h ", " \-\-help +Display usage information and exit. +.TP +.BR \-v ", " \-\-version +Display version and copyright information and exit. +.SH "CONFIGURATION VARIABLES" +The two configuration files \fI/etc/devscripts.conf\fR and +\fI~/.devscripts\fR are sourced in that order to set configuration +variables. Command line options can be used to override configuration +file settings. Environment variable settings are ignored for this +purpose. The currently recognised variable is: +.TP +.B DPKG_DEPCHECK_OPTIONS +These are options which are parsed before the command-line options. +For example, +.IP +DPKG_DEPCHECK_OPTIONS="\-b \-f-catch-alternatives" +.IP +which passes these options to \fBdpkg-depcheck\fR before any +command-line options are processed. You are advised not to try tricky +quoting, because of the vagaries of shell quoting! +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR dpkg (1), +.BR strace (1), +.BR devscripts.conf (5), +.BR update-alternatives (8) +.SH "COPYING" +Copyright 2001 Bill Allombert <ballombe@debian.org>. +Modifications copyright 2002,2003 Julian Gilbey <jdg@debian.org>. +\fBdpkg-depcheck\fR is free software, covered by the GNU General +Public License, version 2 or (at your option) any later version, +and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under +certain conditions.
