NAME
dcmd - expand file lists of .dsc/.changes files in the command line
SYNOPSIS
dcmd [options] [command] [changes-file|dsc-file] [...]
DESCRIPTION
dcmd replaces any reference to a .dsc or .changes file in the command
line with the list of files in its 'Files' section, plus the file
itself. It allows easy manipulation of all the files involved in an
upload (for changes files) or a source package (for dsc files).
If command is omitted (that is the first argument is an existing .dsc
or .changes file), the expanded list of files is printed to stdout, one
file by line. Useful for usage in backticks.
OPTIONS
There are a number of options which may be used in order to select only
a subset of the files listed in the .dsc or .changes file. If a
requested file is not found, an error message will be printed.
--dsc Select the .dsc file.
--schanges Select .changes files for the 'source' architecture.
--bchanges Select .changes files for binary architectures.
--changes Select .changes files. Implies --schanges and --bchanges.
--archdeb Select architecture-dependent binary packages (.deb
files).
--indepdeb Select architecture-independent binary packages (.deb
files).
--deb Select binary packages (.deb files). Implies --archdeb
and --indepdeb.
--archudeb Select architecture-dependent udeb binary packages.
--indepudeb Select architecture-independent udeb binary packages.
--udeb Select udeb binary packages. Implies --archudeb and
--indepudeb.
--tar, --orig Select the tar file.
--diff Select the Debian diff file.
Each option may be prefixed by --no to indicate that all files not
matching the specification should be selected.
It is not possible to combine positive filtering options (e.g. --dsc)
and negative filtering options (e.g. --no-changes) in the same dcmd
invocation.
--no-fail-on-missing, -r
If any of the requested files were not found, do not output an
error.
