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.
These files are used by the debsums package.
All files in \s-1DEBIAN/\s0 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 in the md5sums list. Note that this information is
redundant since it is included elsewhere in debian packages.
"-Xitem,
Exclude files that contain “item” anywhere in their filename from
being listed in the md5sums file.
SEE ALSO

This program is a part of debhelper.
