NAME

       dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-distaddfile [option...] filename section priority

DESCRIPTION

       dpkg-distaddfile adds an entry for a named file to debian/files.

       It takes three non-option arguments, the filename and the section and priority for the
       .changes file.

       The filename should be specified relative to the directory where dpkg-genchanges will
       expect to find the files, usually .., rather than being a pathname relative to the current
       directory when dpkg-distaddfile is run.

OPTIONS

       -ffiles-list-file
           Read or write the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using debian/files.

       -?, --help
           Show the usage message and exit.

       --version
           Show the version and exit.

           (default), always and never.

       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: 0 and 1 (default).
