NAME

type-handling - dpkg architecture generation script

SYNOPSIS

type-handling [-n|--negated] [-r|--reverted] cpu... system...

DESCRIPTION

The main purpose of this utility is using it in combination with sed to generate a debian/control file with architecture lists that dpkg can understand. cpu is a CPU as recognized by dpkg-architecture. A list of CPUs must be comma-separated. The string any is a wildcard and will be translated to a list of all recognised CPUs. system is the same for systems recognised by dpkg-architecture.

type-handling will print every dpkg architecture that matches both one of the specified CPUs and one of the specified systems.

OPTIONS

-n
type-handling will instead print architectures that do not match.
-r
type-handling will print a reverted equivalent of the same string by prefixing with !. This option has no practical effect and is only intended for aesthetical/readability purposes. Note that in some situations, the ! negated string cannot be parsed by dpkg (e.g., in Architecture fields), so use with care.

EXAMPLES

 $ type-handling i386,powerpc,x86_64 linux-gnu
 i386 powerpc amd64
 
 $ type-handling any linux-gnu
 alpha arm hppa [...] sparc64 amd64
 
 $ type-handling i386 any
 darwin-i386 freebsd-i386 hurd-i386 kfreebsd-i386 knetbsd-i386 i386 netbsd-i386 openbsd-i386
