.SH NAME
dh_makeshlibs \- automatically create shlibs file
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dh_makeshlibs
.I "[-v] [-a] [-i] [-Ptmpdir] [-ppackage]"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
dh_makeshlibs is a debhelper program that automatically scans for shared
libraries, and generates a shlibs file for the libraries it finds.
.P
For this program to work, you cannot have already installed a DEBIAN/shlibs
file. If such a file exits, the program will exit with an error.
.SH OPTIONS

.SH BUGS
There is no guarentee that the program will get the shlibs file right. For
example, it may not correctly guess the major number of your package. In
casews like these (and perhaps in general, just to be safe), it is better to
create a debian/shlibs file by hand.
This is a "do what I Mean" type program - you have been warned!
