NAME

       dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-distaddfile [options] 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

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

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

       --version
              Show the version and exit.

FILES

       debian/files
              The list of generated files which are part of the  upload  being
              prepared.  dpkg-distaddfile can be used to add additional files.
