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 part of the Generator in the  WHEEL
              file  in  the  .dist-info directory.  Otherwise NAME is written to the INSTALLER file.  By default
              sipbuild is written.

       --generator-version VERSION
              VERSION is written as part of the Generator in the WHEEL file in  the  .dist-info  directory.   By
              default the SIP version number 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)
