NAME

       dh_gencontrol - generate and install control file

SYNOPSIS

       dh_gencontrol [debhelperoptions] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_gencontrol is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
       control files, and installing them into the DEBIAN directory with the
       proper permissions.

       This program is merely a wrapper around dpkg-gencontrol(1), which calls
       it once for each package being acted on, and passes in some additional
       useful flags.

OPTIONS

       -- params
           Pass "params" to dpkg-gencontrol(1).

       -uparams, --dpkg-gencontrol-params=params
           This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb(1).  It is
           deprecated; use -- instead.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
