3 dh_suidregister \- set up package to register files with suidregister
6 .I "[-v] [-a] [-i] [-ppackage] [-Ptmpdir] [-A] [file ...]"
8 dh_suidregister is a debhelper program that is responsible for modifying the
9 postinst and postrm scripts of a package so the package will register files
14 Any filenames specified as parameters will be registered in the first
15 package dh_installdocs is told to act on. By default, this is the first
16 binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags,
17 it will be the first package specified by those flags.
19 Files named debian/package.suid (or debian/suid for the first binary package
20 in debian/control) can list other files to be registered.
22 If neither of these methods is used to specify files, dh_suidregister will
23 scan the package build directory for files that have suid permissions, and
24 will automatically register all files it finds.
26 Note that this package modifies your postinst and postrm files. See
28 for an explanation of how this works.
32 Verbose mode; show all commands that modify the package build directory.
35 Register files for all architecture dependent packages.
38 Register files for all architecture independent packages.
40 .B \-ppackage, \--package=package
41 Register files for the package named "package".
43 .B \-Ptmpdir, \--tmpdir=tmpdir
44 Use "tmpdir" for package build directory.
47 Register any files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages
48 acted on. I doubt anyone will find this useful, it's here for consitency
49 with other debhelper programs.
52 Register these files in the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if
60 arguments are cumulative. If none are specified, then all packages listed in
61 the control file will be effected.
