DH_MD5SUMS(S)               Debhelper               DH_MD5SUMS(S)



NAME
       dh_md5sums - generate DEBIAN/md5sums file

SYNOPSIS
       dh_md5sums [debhelper options] [-x] [-Xitem]
       [--include-conffiles]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_md5sums is a debhelper program that is responsible for
       generating a DEBIAN/md5sums file, which lists the md5sums
       of each file in the package.

       All files in DEBIAN/ are omitted from the md5sums file, as
       are all conffiles (unless you use the --include-conffiles
       switch).

       The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and
       ownerships.

OPTIONS
       -x, --include-conffiles
           Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this
           information is redundant since it is included else-
           where in debian packages.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
           Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their
           filename from being listed in the md5sums file.
