+=head1 NAME
+
+deb-split - Debian multi-part binary package format
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+I<filename>B<.deb>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The multi-part B<.deb> format is used to split big packages into smaller
+pieces to ease transport in small media.
+
+=head1 FORMAT
+
+The file is an B<ar> archive with a magic value of B<!E<lt>archE<gt>>.
+The file names might contain a trailing slash (since dpkg 1.15.6).
+
+The first member is named B<debian-split> and contains a series
+of lines, separated by newlines.
+Currently eight lines are present:
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+The format version number, B<2.1> at the time this manual page was
+written.
+
+=item *
+
+The package name.
+
+=item *
+
+The package version.
+
+=item *
+
+The md5sum of the package.
+
+=item *
+
+The total size of the package.
+
+=item *
+
+The maximum part size.
+
+=item *
+
+The current part number, followed by a slash and the total amount of
+parts (as in ‘1/10’).
+
+=item *
+
+The package architecture (since dpkg 1.16.1).
+
+=back
+
+Programs which read multi-part archives should be prepared for the minor
+format version number to be increased and additional lines to be present,
+and should ignore these if this is the case.
+
+If the major format version number has changed, an incompatible change has
+been made and the program should stop.
+If it has not, then the program should
+be able to safely continue, unless it encounters an unexpected member
+in the archive (except at the end), as described below.
+
+The second, last required member is named B<data.>I<N>, where I<N>
+denotes the part number.
+It contains the raw part data.
+
+These members must occur in this exact order.
+Current implementations
+should ignore any additional members after B<data.>I<N>.
+Further members may be defined in the future, and (if possible) will be
+placed after these two.
