NAME

       sip-distinfo - create and populate a .dist-info directory

SYNOPSIS

       sip-distinfo [options] directory

       directory is the full path name of the directory to create.

DESCRIPTION

       sip-distinfo  creates  and populates a .dist-info directory of an installation or a wheel.
       It is provided for build systems that extend the SIP build system and need to  create  the
       .dist-info directory from an external tool such as make.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Display a help message.

       -V, --version
              Display the SIP version number.

       --console-script ENTRY-POINT
              The  console  entry  point ENTRY-POINT is added to the wheel.  It is ignored if the
              --wheel-tag option is not specified.  This option may be specified multiple times.

       --generator NAME
              If the --wheel-tag option is specified then NAME is written as the Generator in the
              WHEEL file in the .dist-info directory.  Otherwise NAME is written to the INSTALLER
              file.  By default sip-distinfo is written.

       --gui-script ENTRY-POINT
              The GUI entry point ENTRY-POINT is added to  the  wheel.   It  is  ignored  if  the
              --wheel-tag option is not specified.  This option may be specified multiple times.

       --inventory FILE
              FILE  contains  a  list  of  the  relative  names  of the files, one per line, that
              comprise the installation or wheel contents.  This option must be specified.

       --metadata NAME[=VALUE]
              VALUE is used instead of any value specified for NAME  in  the  [tool.sip.metadata]
              section of the pyproject.toml file.

       --prefix DIR
              This  option  is provided as an aid to Linux package builders.  DIR is used to pass
              the commonly used values of DESTDIR or INSTALL_ROOT.  If specified it should have a
              trailing native path separator.

       --project-root DIR
              The  name  of  the  directory  containing the project's pyproject.toml file is DIR.
              This option must be specified.

       --requires-dist EXPR
              EXPR is added to the list of prerequisites written to  the  METADATA  file  in  the
              .dist-info  directory.   It  is  normally used to specify a particular version of a
              package project's sip module.  This option may be specified multiple times.

       --wheel-tag TAG
              TAG is written as the Tag in the WHEEL file in the .dist-info directory.

                                                                                  sip-distinfo(1)
