dpkg-vendor(1)                 dpkg suite                 dpkg-vendor(1)

NAME         top

       dpkg-vendor - queries information about distribution vendors

SYNOPSIS         top

       dpkg-vendor [option...] command

DESCRIPTION         top

       dpkg-vendor is a tool to query information about vendors listed
       in /usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins.
       /usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins/default contains information about
       the current vendor.

       This program was introduced in dpkg 1.15.1.

COMMANDS         top

       --is vendor
           Exits with 0 if the current vendor is vendor.  Otherwise
           exits with 1.

       --derives-from vendor
           Exits with 0 if the current vendor distribution is a
           derivative of vendor, otherwise exits with 1.  It uses the
           Parent field to browse all ancestors of the current vendor.

       --query field
           Print on standard output the value of the vendor-specific
           field for the current vendor.

       --help
           Show the usage message and exit.

       --version
           Show the version and exit.

OPTIONS         top

       --vendor vendor
           Assumes the current vendor is vendor instead of discovering
           it with the DEB_VENDOR environment variable or
           /usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins/default.

ENVIRONMENT         top

       DEB_VENDOR
           This setting defines the current vendor.  If not set, it will
           discover the current vendor by reading
           /usr/local/etc/dpkg/origins/default.

       DPKG_COLORS
           Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).  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 (since dpkg 1.19.0).  The accepted values are:
           0 and 1 (default).
