dh_installexamples - install example files into package build directories
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>dh_installexamples</B> [<I>debhelper options</I>] [<B>-A</B>] [<B>-X</B><I>item</I>] [<I>file</I> ...]
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>dh_installexamples</B> is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing examples into <I>usr/share/doc/package/examples</I> in package
build directories.
<P>
From debhelper compatibility level 11 on, <B>dh_install</B> will fall back to
looking in <I>debian/tmp</I> for files, if it does not find them in the current
directory (or wherever you've told it to look using <B>--sourcedir</B>).
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>FILES</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1">debian/<I>package</I>.examples<DD>
Lists example files or directories to be installed.
<P>
Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as
documented in <B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?7+debhelper">debhelper</A></B>(7).
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="2"><B>-A</B>, <B>--all</B><DD>
Install any files specified by command line parameters in <FONT SIZE="-1">ALL</FONT> packages
acted on.
<DT id="3"><B>--sourcedir=</B><I>dir</I><DD>
Look in the specified directory for files to be installed. This option
requires compat 11 or later (it is silently ignored in compat 10 or earlier).
<P>
Note that this is not the same as the <B>--sourcedirectory</B> option used
by the <B>dh_auto_</B><I>*</I> commands. You rarely need to use this option, since
<B>dh_installexamples</B> automatically looks for files in <I>debian/tmp</I> in debhelper
compatibility level 11 and above.
<DT id="4"><B>--doc-main-package=</B><I>main-package</I><DD>
Set the main package for a documentation package. This is used to
install the documentation of the documentation package in <I>/usr/share/doc/main-package</I> as recommended by the Debian policy
manual 3.9.7 in §12.3.
<P>
In compat 11 (or later), this option is only useful if debhelper's
auto-detection of the main package is wrong. The option can also be
used to silence a warning from debhelper when the auto-detection fails
but the default happens to be correct.
<P>
This option cannot be used when <B>dh_installexamples</B> is instructed to act
on multiple packages. If you need this option, you will generally
need to combine it with <B>-p</B> to ensure exactly one package is acted
on.
<DT id="5"><B>-X</B><I>item</I>, <B>--exclude=</B><I>item</I><DD>
Exclude files that contain <I>item</I> anywhere in their filename from
being installed.
<DT id="6"><I>file</I> ...<DD>
Install these files (or directories) as examples into the first package
acted on. (Or into all packages if <B>-A</B> is specified.)
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
Note that <B>dh_installexamples</B> will happily copy entire directory hierarchies
if you ask it to (similar to <B>cp -a</B>). If it is asked to install a
directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.
