# dh\_acc(1)

abi-compliance-checker dump generator and comparison

## NAME

dh\_acc - abi-compliance-checker dump generator and comparison

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_acc** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**dh\_acc** is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating abi-complinace-checker dumps and comparing them with a 'base' dump at build time. This facilitates monitoring and early detection of API/ABI brekage.

## FILES

- debian/*package*.acc

  Any abi-compiance-checker acceptable library and header descriptor. To generate a stub XML template, use **abi-compliance-checker** **-d**. Alternatively one can simply specify a list headers, libraries, or directories. Please note, these should be specified relative to source package root directory, e.g. *./debian/tmp/usr/lib/*, *./build-2.7/* etc.

- debian/*package*.abi.tar.gz

  This is a base API/ABI one wishes to stay compatible with. The newly generated API/ABI dump will be compared with this one, if available.

## SEE ALSO
