NAME

       sip-distinfo - create and populate a .dist-info directory

SYNOPSIS

       sip-distinfo [options] directory

       directory is the full path name of the directory to create.

DESCRIPTION

       sip-distinfo  creates and populates a .dist-info directory of an installation or a wheel.  It is provided
       for build systems that extend the SIP build system and need to create the .dist-info  directory  from  an
       external tool such as make.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Display a help message.

       -V, --version
              Display the SIP version number.

       --console-script ENTRY-POINT
              The  console  entry  point  ENTRY-POINT  is  added to the wheel.  It is ignored if the --wheel-tag
              option is not specified.  This option may be specified multiple times.

       --generator NAME
              If the --wheel-tag option is specified then NAME is written as the Generator in the WHEEL file  in
              the  .dist-info  directory.   Otherwise  NAME  is  written  to  the  INSTALLER  file.   By default
              sip-distinfo is written.

       --gui-script ENTRY-POINT
              The GUI entry point ENTRY-POINT is added to the wheel.  It is ignored if the --wheel-tag option is
              not specified.  This option may be specified multiple times.

       --inventory FILE
              FILE contains a list of the relative  names  of  the  files,  one  per  line,  that  comprise  the
              installation or wheel contents.  This option must be specified.

       --metadata NAME[=VALUE]
              VALUE  is  used  instead of any value specified for NAME in the [tool.sip.metadata] section of the
              pyproject.toml file.

       --prefix DIR
              This option is provided as an aid to Linux package builders.  DIR is used  to  pass  the  commonly
              used  values  of  DESTDIR  or  INSTALL_ROOT.   If  specified it should have a trailing native path
              separator.

       --project-root DIR
              The name of the directory containing the project's pyproject.toml file is DIR.  This  option  must
              be specified.

       --requires-dist EXPR
              EXPR  is  added  to  the  list  of  prerequisites  written  to the METADATA file in the .dist-info
              directory.  It is normally used to specify a particular version of a package project's sip module.
              This option may be specified multiple times.

       --wheel-tag TAG
              TAG is written as the Tag in the WHEEL file in the .dist-info directory.

                                                                                                 sip-distinfo(1)
