.DSC File

File extension dsc is associated with Debian, a computer operating system composed of software packages released as free and open source software, developed by the Debian Project.

This type of dsc files contain a series of fields, identified and separated just like the fields in the control file of a binary package. The source package control file is generated by dpkg-source when it builds the source archive, from other files in the source package, described above. When unpacking, it is checked against the files and directories in the other parts of the source package.

Files with dsc extension are commonly encountered as source control files for Debian. Found in installation packages for the system.

How to open:

The .dsc file is generated for internal purposes and it is not meant to be opened directly. However, you can probably try to open it in text editor.

How to convert:

There is no way how to convert .dsc files (Debian source control files) to another file format.
