dpkg-buildapi [option...] [command]

- --help
- Show the usage message and exit.
- --version
- Show the version and exit.
- -ccontrol-file
- Specifies the main source control file to read information from. The
default is debian/control.
- DPKG_BUILD_API
- The build API level to use. This is intended to be used internally by the
tools executed from debian/rules to avoid having to parse
debian/control multiple times, and not to set the global build API
level from debian/rules, otherwise build drivers (such as
dpkg-buildpackage(1)) cannot access it.
- DPKG_COLORS
- Sets the color mode. The currently accepted values are: auto
(default), always and never.
- DPKG_NLS
- If set, it will be used to decide whether to activate Native Language
Support, also known as internationalization (or i18n) support. The
accepted values are: 0 and 1 (default).
- /usr/share/dpkg/buildapi.mk
- Makefile snippet that parses the build API level into a variable.
