✨ SBUILD-ABORT 💅

okay bestie, welcome to SBUILD-ABORT(1) — the Debian sbuild manual page you didn't know you needed, but lowkey do 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sbuild-abort — abort the current sbuild build. that's it. that's the vibe. it stops the build. periodt 🛑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sbuild-abort [-h|--help | -V|--version]
buildd-abort [-h|--help | -V|--version]

yes bestie, there are TWO names up there — sbuild-abort and buildd-abort. both iconic, both valid, same energy 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ — sbuild-abort kills the currently running dpkg-buildpackage process. like, it just ends it. no dramatic goodbye, no "are you sure", it's giving main character energy only.

lowkey important ⚠️ — it will not kill if more than one process is found. nope. not doing it. it sees more than one matching process and it's like "nvm, aborted the abort" 💀 so if your build is stubborn and there's a whole crowd of processes, this is gonna politely decline.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

🎀 Actions 🎀

  • -h, --help — display this manual. the "wait, what does this do again?" flag, we've all been there 🫶
  • -V, --version — print version information. for when you need to know exactly which version is serving looks ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

aborting the current build, the only way we know how:

% sbuild-abort↵

that's it. one line. ate and left no crumbs 💅 the ↵ is just you hitting enter, bestie, it's not part of the command iykyk.
