5 dh_clean - clean up package build directories

18 dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a
19 package is built. It removes the package build directories, and removes some
20 other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other
21 debhelper commands. It also removes common files that should not appear in a
23 #*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P *-stamp
25 The debian/clean file can list other files to be removed.
27 It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use
28 L<dh_auto_clean(1)> to do that.
30 dh_clean (or "dh clean") should be the last debhelper command run in the
31 clean target in debian/rules.
37 =item B<-k>, B<--keep>
39 This causes L<dh_prep(1)> to be run instead of dh_clean, for backwards
42 =item B<-d>, B<--dirs-only>
44 Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files
47 =item B<-X>I<item> B<--exclude=>I<item>
49 Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename from being
50 deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this option
51 multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
55 Delete these files too.
