NAME
       dpkg-distaddfile - add entries to debian/files

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-distaddfile [option...] filename section priority

DESCRIPTION
       dpkg-distaddfile adds an entry for a named file to debian/files.

       It takes three non-option arguments, the filename and the section and priority for the .changes file.

       The filename should be specified relative to the directory where dpkg-genchanges will expect to find the files,
       usually .., rather than being a pathname relative to the current directory when dpkg-distaddfile is run.

OPTIONS

	   Read or write the list of files to be uploaded here, rather than using debian/files.

       --version
	   Show the version and exit.

	   (or i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0).  The accepted values are: 0 and 1 (default).
