dcmd(1)
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 upstream .tar file.
--diff, --debtar
Select the Debian .debian.tar or .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.
--package, -p
Output package name part only.
--sort, -s
Sort output alphabetically.
--tac, -t
Reverse output order.
