8 dh_installexamples is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
9 examples into usr/doc/package/examples in package build directories.
11 Any file names specified as parameters will be installed into the first
12 package dh_installdirs is told to act on. By default, this is the first
13 binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it
14 will be the first package specified by those flags.
16 A file named debian/package.examples (debian/examples may be used for the
17 first binary package in debian/control) can list other files to be installed.
21 Verbose mode; show all commands that modify the package build directory.
24 Install files for all architecture dependent packages.
27 Install files for all architecture independent packages.
30 Do not really do anything. If used with -v, the result is that this command
31 will output a list of what it would have done.
33 .B \-ppackage, \--package=package
34 Install files for the package named "package".
36 .B \-Ptmpdir, \--tmpdir=tmpdir
37 Use "tmpdir" for package build directory.
40 Install any files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages
44 Install these files as examples into the first package acted on. (Or into all
45 packages if -A is specified.)
52 arguments are cumulative. If none are specified, then all packages listed in
53 the control file will be effected.
55 Note that dh_installexamples will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if
56 you ask it to (it uses cp -a internally). If it is asked to install a
57 directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.
64 Enables no-act mode (see above).
66 .BR /usr/doc/debhelper/README
68 Filenames with spaces in them will not currently be installed.
