+=head1 NAME
+
+dpkg-genchanges - generate Debian .changes files
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<dpkg-genchanges>
+[I<option>...]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<dpkg-genchanges>
+reads information from an unpacked and built Debian source tree and
+from the files it has generated and generates a Debian upload control
+file
+(B<.changes> file).
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over
+
+=item B<--build=>I<type>
+
+Specifies the build I<type> from a comma-separated list of components
+(since dpkg 1.18.5).
+
+The allowed values are:
+
+=over
+
+=item B<source>
+
+Upload the source package.
+
+=item B<any>
+
+Upload the architecture specific binary packages.
+
+=item B<all>
+
+Upload the architecture independent binary packages.
+
+=item B<binary>
+
+Upload the architecture specific and independent binary packages.
+This is an alias for B<any,all>.
+
+=item B<full>
+
+Upload everything.
+This is alias for B<source,any,all>, and the same as the default case
+when no build option is specified.
+
+=back
+
+=item B<-g>
+
+Equivalent to B<--build=source,all> (since dpkg 1.17.11).
+
+=item B<-G>
+
+Equivalent to B<--build=source,any> (since dpkg 1.17.11).
+
+=item B<-b>
+
+Equivalent to B<--build=binary> or B<--build=any,all>.
+
+=item B<-B>
+
+Equivalent to B<--build=any>.
+
+=item B<-A>
+
+Equivalent to B<--build=all>.
+
+=item B<-S>
+
+Equivalent to B<--build=source>.
+
+=back
+
+The B<-s>I<x> options control whether the original source archive is
+included in the upload if any source is being generated (i.e.
+B<-b> or B<-B>
+haven't been used).
+
+=over
+
+=item B<-si>
+
+By default, or if specified, the original source will be included only if
+the upstream version number (the version without epoch and without Debian
+revision) differs from the upstream version number of the previous
+changelog entry.
+
+=item B<-sa>
+
+Forces the inclusion of the original source.
+
+=item B<-sd>
+
+Forces the exclusion of the original source and includes only the diff.
+
+=item B<-v>I<version>
+
+Causes changelog information from all versions strictly later than
+I<version>
+to be used.
+
+=item B<-C>I<changes-description>
+
+Read the description of the changes from the file
+I<changes-description>
+rather than using the information from the source tree's changelog
+file.
+
+=item B<-m>I<maintainer-address>
+
+Use
+I<maintainer-address>
+as the name and email address of the maintainer for this package,
+rather than using the information from the source tree's control file.
+
+=item B<-e>I<maintainer-address>
+
+Use
+I<maintainer-address>
+as the name and email address of the maintainer for this upload,
+rather than using the information from the source tree's changelog.
+
+=item B<-V>I<name>B<=>I<value>
+
+Set an output substitution variable.
+See L<deb-substvars(5)> for a discussion of output substitution.
+
+=item B<-T>I<substvars-file>
+
+Read substitution variables in
+I<substvars-file>;
+the default is
+B<debian/substvars>.
+No variable substitution is done on any of the fields that are output,
+except for the contents extracted from each binary package B<Description>
+field (since dpkg 1.19.0), however the special variable I<Format> will
+override the field of the same name.
+This option can be used multiple times to read substitution
+variables from multiple files (since dpkg 1.15.6).
+
+=item B<-D>I<field>B<=>I<value>
+
+Override or add an output control file field.
+
+=item B<-U>I<field>
+
+Remove an output control file field.
+
+=item B<-c>I<controlfile>
+
+Specifies the main source control file to read information from.
+The
+default is
+B<debian/control>.
+
+=item B<-l>I<changelog-file>
+
+Specifies the changelog file to read information from.
+The
+default is
+B<debian/changelog>.
+
+=item B<-f>I<files-list-file>
+
+Read the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using
+B<debian/files>.
+
+=item B<-F>I<changelog-format>
+
+Specifies the format of the changelog.
+See L<dpkg-parsechangelog(1)>
+for information about alternative formats.
+
+=item B<-u>I<upload-files-dir>
+
+Look for the files to be uploaded in
+I<upload-files-dir>
+rather than
+B<..>
+(B<dpkg-genchanges>
+needs to find these files so that it can include their sizes and
+checksums in the
+B<.changes>
+file).
+
+=item B<-q>
+
+Usually
+B<dpkg-genchanges>
+will produce informative messages on standard error, for example about
+how many of the package's source files are being uploaded.
+B<-q>
+suppresses these messages.
+
+=item B<-O>[I<filename>]
+
+Print the changes file to standard output (the default) or to I<filename>
+if specified (since dpkg 1.18.5).
+
+=item B<-?>, B<--help>
+
+Show the usage message and exit.
+
+=item B<--version>
+
+Show the version and exit.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+=over
+
+=item B<DPKG_COLORS>
+
+Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).
+The currently accepted values are: B<auto> (default), B<always> and
+B<never>.
+
+=item 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: B<0> and B<1> (default).
+
+=back
+
+=head1 FILES
+
+=over
+
+=item B<debian/files>
+
+The list of generated files which are part of the upload being
+prepared.
+B<dpkg-genchanges>
+reads the data here when producing a
+B<.changes>
+file.
