8 dh_undocumented is a debhelper program that is responsible for making
11 man page for man pages that are not present in your package.
13 The program takes a list of man pages that should be symlinked to
15 It determines what directory the man pages should be placed in by examining
16 their extensions - pages ending in "x" go into /usr/X11R6/man/, while pages
17 that end in anything else go in /usr/man/. It also examines the extention to
18 see what section the man page belongs in. After figuring this out, it
19 generates the necessary symlinks to
21 , placing the sylinks in the package build directory.
23 The lists of man pages that need
25 symlinks can be specified in two ways. Any man page names specified as
26 parameters will be set up in the first package dh_undocumented is told
27 to act on. By default, this is the first binary package in debian/control,
28 but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it will be the first package specified
30 Also, a file named debian/package.undocumented (or debian/undocumented, for
31 the first binary package in debian/control) can list other man page names to
39 for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
42 Install undocumented man page symlinks for any man pages specified by
43 command line parameters in ALL packages acted on. I doubt anyone will find
44 this useful, it's here for consitency with other debhelper programs.
47 Install undocumented man page symlinks for each of these man pages
48 into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages acted on if -A is
53 for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
