  20. .SH NAME
  21. deb\-origin \- Vendor-specific information files
  22. .SH SYNOPSIS
  23. .BI /etc/dpkg/origins/ filename
  24. .SH DESCRIPTION
  25. The files in \fB/etc/dpkg/origins\fP can provide information about
  26. various vendors who are providing Debian packages.
  27. They contain a number of fields, or comments when the line starts with
  28. \(oq\fB#\fP\(cq.
  29. Each field begins with a tag, such as \fBVendor\fP or \fBParent\fP,
  30. followed by a colon and the body of the field. Fields are delimited
  31. only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines
  32. in length, but the tools will join lines when processing the body of
  33. the field.
  34. The file should be named according to the vendor name.
  35. The usual convention is to name the vendor file using the vendor name
  36. in all lowercase, but some variation is permitted.
  37. Namely, spaces are mapped to dashes (\(oq\fB\-\fP\(cq), and the file
  38. can have the same casing as the value in \fBVendor\fP field, or it can
  39. be capitalized.
