.SH DESCRIPTION
Front end program to the 
.B "pbuilder"
suite of programs, used for creating and maintaining user-mode-linux environment
and building Debian package within the user-mode-linux virtual machine 
environment.

Unlike 
.B "pbuilder", 
.B "pbuilder\-user\-mode\-linux"
does not require root privilege to run.
It should be ran under a normal user.

.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
.B "create"
Creates a user-mode-linux root image 
for the specified distribution using 
.B rootstrap
software

.TP
.B "update"
Updates the 
user-mode-linux root image
for the specified distribution.
Also, by specifying the 
.B "\-\-distribution"
option, it is possible to switch the distribution.
Specify a dummy distribution value 
even for custom apt config files.

.TP
.B "build"
Builds the package specified by
.I ".dsc-file"
within the user-mode-linux environment.

.TP
.B "login"
Invokes shell within UML.

.TP
.B "dumpconfig"
dumps configuration information about user-mode-linux, used for debugging.

.TP
.B "execute"
Invokes a command or script inside UML.
.B "execute"
will copy the specified file into the UML system,
and run it.

The remaining command-line arguments are passed on to the script.

.TP
.BI "\-\-uml\-image [" "UML image" "]"
Specify the UML image to use.

.TP
.BI "\-\-eth0 [" "uml option for eth0" "]"
Specify this option as parameter to UML.

Specify

to use the slirp connection.

.TP
.BI "\-\-uml\-ip [" "IP inside UML" "]"
Specify this to set the IP inside UML.

.TP
.BI "\-\-uml\-netmask [" "netmask" "]"
The netmask.

.TP
.BI "\-\-uml\-network [" "network" "]"
The network address.

.TP
.BI "\-\-uml\-broadcast [" "broadcast" "]"

.TP
.BI "\-\-uml\-hostname [" "uml-host" "]"
The hostname inside uml.

.TP
.BI "\-\-distribution [" "sid" "]"
Specify the distribution.
see pbuilder.8

.TP
.BI "\-\-binary-arch"
Specify only to build binary-arch targets.
see pbuilder.8

.TP
.BI "\-\-timeout " "timeouttime"
Timeout build after specified time.
see pbuilder.8

.TP
.BI "\-\-configfile " "config file to read"
Makes pbuilder to read the config file inside UML.
pbuilder-user-mode-linux itself would be affected by the contents of the 
config file.

.TP
.BI "\-\-hookdir " "location of hooks"
Makes pbuilder use the specified hookdir inside UML.

.TP
.BI "\-\-aptconfdir " "apt configuretion directory"
Makes pbuilder to use specified apt configuration directory instead of 
other settings. See pbuilder.8

.TP 
.BI "\-\-override\-config"

.B \-\-distribution 
to switch distribution using 
.B "pbuilder\-user\-mode\-linux update"

.TP 
.BI "\-\-logfile " "logfilename"
Specify this option to make the output go to 
.I logfilename
instead of standard output.

.TP 
.BI "\-\-buildresult " "/dir/to/build/result"

so that changes made in the log in session will persist.

Effective in 
.B login
and 
.B exec
options.

.TP
.BI "\-\-mirror [" "mirror location" "]"
Specifies the URL of Debian mirror to be 
specified in 
.B "sources.list"
inside the chroot.
This option is only valid when distribution is being specified, for 
update and build targets.
The format is something like:
.I "http://http.us.debian.org/debian" 
which should point to your favourite mirror.

This option can optionally be omitted, and left blank,
in which case, this part is skipped.

Note that these URLs specified to pbuilder will be used from within
the chroot, and specifying 
.B "file:/somewhere/"
will most probably fail.

.TP
.BI "\-\-othermirror [" "deb http://xxx/xxx/ ./ " "|" " other deb lines... " "]"
The lines which is added to the sources.list, delimited with 
.B "|"
Like 
.B "deb http://local/mirror stable main|deb file:/usr/local/mirror ./"

The deb lines here are the ones that will appear at the top of the 
.B "sources.list"
inside the chroot.
Be sure to follow the syntax rules of
.RI "sources.list (" 5 ")."
These lines appear at the beginning of the
constructed sources file, so this is the place to list your
.B "local"
mirror sites; apt will then use them in preference to the ones 
listed in 
.B "\-\-mirror".

These options are only valid when
.B "\-\-override\-config"
option is specified in 
.B "update"
target, or when
.B "pbuilder create"
is being called.

.SH "NOTES"
For 
.B build
and
.B login
targets, 
.B pbuilder\-user\-mode\-linux
will try to use COW devices.

Inside user-mode-linux, pbuilder-user-mode-linux will mount 
tmpfs as 
.B /tmp
to avoid temporary file race conditions with outside of UML.
This may cause problems trying to use files in /tmp directory.

.SH "FILES"
.TP
.I "/etc/pbuilderrc"
The system-wide configuration file for pbuilder.
.TP
.I "/usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc"
The default settings for pbuilder, used as fallback for all 
values that is not specified in
.B "/etc/pbuilderrc."
.TP
.B "/etc/pbuilder/pbuilder\-uml.conf"

it will take priority over pbuilder configurations.
