-a, and -p. To help you make this work right, Dh_Lib.pm handles argument
processing. Just call init().
+You can add support for additional options to your command by passing an
+options hash to init(). The hash is then passed on the Getopt::Long to
+parse the command line options. For example, to add a --foo option, which
+sets $dh{FOO}:
+
+init(options => { foo => \$dh{FOO} });
+
After argument processing, some global variables are used to hold the
results; programs can use them later. These variables are elements of the
%dh hash.
EXCLUDE_FIND same as DH_EXCLUDE, except all items are put
into a string in a way that they will make
find find them. (Use ! in front to negate
- that, of course)
+ that, of course) Note that this should
+ only be used inside complex_doit(), not in
+ doit().
-x INCLUDE_CONFFILES
include conffiles. It's -x for obscure
historical reasons.
--name NAME a name to use for installed files, instead of
the package name
--error-handler ERROR_HANDLER a function to call on error
+--language LANGUAGE specify what language a file is in
+--add-udeb SHLIBS_UDEB used by dh_makeshlibs
Any additional command line parameters that do not start with "-" will be
ignored, and you can access them later just as you normally would.
-If you need a new command line option, just ask me, and I will add it.

This command automatically adds shell script snippets to a debian
maintainer script (like the postinst or prerm).
+ Note that in v6 mode and up, the snippets are added in reverse
+ order for the removal scripts.
dirname($pathname)
Return directory part of pathname.
basename($pathname)
packages.
As a side effect, populates %package_arches and %package_types with
the types of all packages (not only those returned).
+inhibit_log()
+ Prevent logging the program's successful finish to
+ debian/*debhelper.log
