NAME
dpkg-buildtree - helper for build tree operations during package builds
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-buildtree [option...] [command]
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-buildtree is a tool to perform common operations on the build tree for a source package.
This program was introduced in dpkg 1.22.3.
COMMANDS
- clean
- Removes all artifacts generated during a build by the various dpkg tools, and pathnames used or controlled by dpkg tools that are safe to clean. These files are used to track state between package build runs, and are in many cases internal implementation details the packager should not be concerned about, or are staging directories containing build artifacts.
- --help
- Show the usage message and exit.
- --version
- Show the version and exit.
