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  part  of  the
              Generator in the WHEEL file in the .dist-info directory.  Otherwise NAME is written
              to the INSTALLER file.  By default sipbuild is written.

       --generator-version VERSION
              VERSION is written as part of the Generator in the WHEEL  file  in  the  .dist-info
              directory.  By default the SIP version number 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)
