.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBdh_md5sums\fR is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
a \fIDEBIAN/md5sums\fR file, which lists the md5sums of each file in the package.
These files are used by \fBdpkg \-\-verify\fR or the \fBdebsums\fR\|(1) program.
.PP
All files in \fI\s-1DEBIAN/\s0\fR are omitted from the \fImd5sums\fR file, as are all
conffiles (unless you use the \fB\-\-include\-conffiles\fR switch).
.PP
The md5sums file is installed with proper permissions and ownerships.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-include\-conffiles\fR" 4
.IX Item "-x, --include-conffiles"
Include conffiles in the md5sums list. Note that this information is
redundant since it is included elsewhere in Debian packages.
.IP "\fB\-X\fR\fIitem\fR, \fB\-\-exclude=\fR\fIitem\fR" 4
.IX Item "-Xitem, --exclude=item"
Exclude files that contain \fIitem\fR anywhere in their filename from
being listed in the md5sums file.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fBdebhelper\fR\|(7)
.PP
This program is a part of debhelper.
