=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<dh_dwz> [S<I<debhelper options>>] [B<-X>I<item>] [S<B<--> I<params>>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<dh_dwz> is a debhelper program that will optimize the (uncompressed)
size of the DWARF debug information in ELF binaries.  It does so by
running L<dwz(1)> on all the ELF binaries in the package.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<--dwz-multifile>, B<--no-dwz-multifile>

Whether L<dwz(1)> should generate a I<multifile> from the ELF binaries
in the same package.  When enabled, if a package ships at least 2 ELF
binaries, B<dh_dwz> will instruct L<dwz(1)> to generate a multifile
for the package.

By default, B<dh_dwz> will attempt to create a multifile but will
continue without if L<dwz(1)> does not create one (but succeeds anyway).
This commonly happens when the debug files do not contain debug
symbols (e.g. a missing -g to the compiler) or when the debug
symbols are compressed (see Debian bug #931891).  If B<--dwz-multifile>
is passed, then B<dh_dwz> will abort with an error if L<dwz(1)> does
not create a multifile.

Note this options may not work if a package contains more ELF binaries
than can fit on a single command line.  If this becomes a problem,
please pass B<--no-dwz-multifile> to work around the issue.

The generated multifile will be compressed with B<objcopy
--compress-debug-sections>.

Note for B<udeb> packages: B<dh_dwz> will never generate multifiles
for B<udeb> packages.  It will still use B<dwz> to reduce the
file size of debug files if it finds any.

=item B<-X>I<item>, B<--exclude=>I<item>

Exclude files that contain I<item> anywhere in their filename from being
stripped. You may use this option multiple times to build up a list of
things to exclude.

=item B<--> I<params>

Pass I<params> to L<dwz(1)> when it processes ELF binaries.  This is
mostly useful for setting memory related parameters (e.g. -l and -L).

=head1 NOTES

If the B<DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS> environment variable contains B<nostrip>,
nothing will be stripped, in accordance with Debian policy (section
10.1 "Binaries").

While this tool technically does not remove debug information from
binaries, it is still skipped when the B<DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS>
environment variable contains B<nostrip>.  This is because B<nostrip>
is often used to optimize build times (e.g. for "build and
test"-cycles) rather than optimizing for size.
