SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
dpkg-buildapi is a tool to retrieve the dpkg-build-api(7) level to use during build of source Debian packages.
This program was introduced in dpkg 1.22.0.
COMMANDS
- --help
-
Show the usage message and exit.
- --version
-
Show the version and exit.
OPTIONS
- -ccontrol-file
-
Specifies the main source control file to read information from. The default is debian/control.
ENVIRONMENT
- DPKG_BUILD_API
-
The build API level to use. This is intended to be used internally by the tools executed from debian/rules to avoid having to parse debian/control multiple times, and not to set the global build API level from debian/rules, otherwise build drivers (such as dpkg-buildpackage(1)) cannot access it.
- DPKG_COLORS
-
Sets the color mode. The currently accepted values are: auto (default), always and never.
- DPKG_NLS
-
If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native Language Support, also known as internationalization (or i18n) support. The accepted values are: 0 and 1 (default).
FILES
Packaging support
- /usr/share/dpkg/buildapi.mk
-
Makefile snippet that parses the build API level into a variable.
