-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.
-X EXCLUDE exclude a something from processing (you
decide what this means for your program)
(This is an array)
- EXCLUDE_FIND same as DH_EXCLUDE, except all items are put
+-X EXCLUDE_FIND same as 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) 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.
-d D_FLAG you decide what this means to your program
--r R_FLAG you decide what this means to your program
--k K_FLAG you decide what this means to your program
+-k K_FLAG used to turn on keeping of something
-P TMPDIR package build directory (implies only one
package is being acted on)
-u U_PARAMS will be set to a string, that is typically
parameters your program passes on to some
other program. (This is an array)
--m M_PARAMS will be set to a string, you decide what it
- means to your program
--l L_PARAMS will be set to a string, you decide what it
- means to your program
-V V_FLAG will be set to a string, you decide what it
means to your program
-V V_FLAG_SET will be 1 if -V was specified, even if no
those processed here), will apply to all
binary packages the program acts on, not just
the first
---init-script INIT_SCRIPT will be set to a string, which specifies an
- init script name (probably only
- dh_installinit will ever use this)
---sourcedir SOURCEDIR will be set to a string (probably only
- dh_movefiles will ever use this)
---destdir DESTDIR will be set to a string (probably only
- dh_builddeb will ever use this)
---filename FILENAME will be set to a string
---flavor FLAVOR will be set to a string (probably only
- dh_installemacsen will ever use this)
---number PRIORITY will be set to a number (deprecated)
+--sourcedir SOURCEDIR will be set to a string
+--destdir DESTDIR will be set to a string
--priority PRIORITY will be set to a number
+--mainpackage MAINPACKAGE controls which package is treated as the
+ main package to act on
--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.

packages.
As a side effect, populates %package_arches and %package_types with
the types of all packages (not only those returned).
