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 extentions - 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 binary package listed in
27 debian/control, if dh_installdocs is acting on that package.
28 Also, if a file named debian/undocumented (for the first binary package in
29 debian/control), or debian/package.undocumented (for each additional package
30 in debian/control) can list other man page names to set up.
34 Verbose mode; show all commands that modify the package build directory.
37 Install undocumented man page symlinks for all architecture dependent packages.
40 Install undocumented man page symlinks for all architecture independent packages.
43 Install undocumented man page symlinks for the package named "package".
46 Install undocumented man page symlinks for each of these man pages
47 into the first binary package listed in debian/control, if we are acting on
55 arguments are cumulative. If none are specified, then all packages listed in
56 the control file will be effected.
