NAME

SYNOPSIS
       dpkg-vendor [option...] command

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

COMMANDS
       --is vendor
              Exits with 0 if the current vendor is vendor. Otherwise exits
              with non-zero.

       --derives-from vendor
              Exits with 0 if the current vendor distribution is a derivative
              of vendor, otherwise exits with non-zero. 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
       --vendor vendor
              Assumes the current vendor is vendor instead of discovering it
              with the DEB_VENDOR environment variable or
              /etc/dpkg/origins/default.

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