27.RI [ option ...]
28.RI [ control-file ]
29.
30.SH DESCRIPTION
31This program checks the installed packages in the system against the build
32dependencies and build conflicts listed in the control file. If any are
33not met, it displays them and exits with a nonzero return code.
34.P
35By default, \fBdebian/control\fR is read, but an alternate control filename
36may be specified on the command line.
37.
38.SH OPTIONS
39.TP
40.BI \-\-admindir= dir
41Change the location of the \fBdpkg\fR database (since dpkg 1.14.0).
42The default location is \fI%ADMINDIR%\fP.
43.TP
44.B \-A
45Ignore \fBBuild\-Depends\-Arch\fP and \fBBuild\-Conflicts\-Arch\fP
46lines (since dpkg 1.16.4).
47Use when only arch-indep packages will be built, or combine with
48\fB\-B\fP when only a source package is to be built.
49.TP
50.B \-B
51Ignore \fBBuild\-Depends\-Indep\fP and \fBBuild\-Conflicts\-Indep\fP
52lines. Use when only arch-dep packages will be built, or combine with
53\fB\-A\fP when only a source package is to be built.
54.TP
55.B \-I
56Ignore built-in build depends and conflicts (since dpkg 1.18.2).
57These are implicit dependencies that are usually required on a specific
58distribution, the so called Build-Essential package set.
59.TP
60.BI "\-d " build-depends-string
61.TP
62.BI "\-c " build-conflicts-string
63Use the given build dependencies/conflicts instead of those contained in the
64\fIdebian/control\fP file (since dpkg 1.14.17).
65.TP
66.BI "\-a " arch
67Check build dependencies/conflicts assuming that the package described in
68the control file is to be built for the given host architecture instead of
69the architecture of the current system (since dpkg 1.16.2).
70.TP
71.BR "\-P " \fIprofile\fP[ , ...]
72Check build dependencies/conflicts assuming that the package described
73in the control file is to be built for the given build profile(s)
74(since dpkg 1.17.2).
75The argument is a comma-separated list of profile names.
76.TP
77.BR \-? ", " \-\-help
78Show the usage message and exit.
79.TP
80.BR \-\-version
81Show the version and exit.

83.SH ENVIRONMENT
84.TP
85.B DEB_BUILD_PROFILES
86If set, it will be used as the active build profile(s) for the package
87being built. It is a space separated list of profile names. Overridden
88by the \fB\-P\fP option.
