NAME
dh_installexamples - install example files into package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_installexamples [debhelper options] [-A] [-Xitem] [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installexamples is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing examples into usr/share/doc/package/examples in package
build directories.
Any file names specified as parameters will be installed into the first
package dh_installexamples is told to act on. By default, this is the first
binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it
will be the first package specified by those flags.
Files named debian/package.examples can list other files to be installed.
OPTIONS
"-A,
Install any files specified by command line parameters in \s-1ALL\s0 packages
acted on.
"file
Install these files as examples into the first package acted on. (Or into
all packages if -A is specified.)
"-Xitem,
Exclude files that contain “item” anywhere in their filename from
being installed.
NOTES
Note that dh_installexamples will happily copy entire directory hierarchies
if you ask it to (similar to cp -a). If it is asked to install a
directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.
