.TH DH_INSTALLMANPAGES 1
.SH NAME
dh_installmanpages \- install man pages into package build directories
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B dh_installmanpages
.I "[-v] [-a] [-i] [--no-act] [-ppackage] [-Ptmpdir] [file ...]"
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
dh_installmanpages is a debhelper program that is responsible for
automatically installing man pages into usr/man/ and usr/X11R6/man/ in
package build directories.
.P
dh_installmanpages scans the current directory and all subdirectories for
filenames that look like man pages. It uses
.BR file (1)
to verify that the files are in the correct format. Then, based on the
files' extensions, it installs them into the correct man directory.
.P
All filenames specified as parameters will be skipped by dh_installmanpages.
This is useful if by default it installs some man pages that you do not want
to be installed.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-v, \--verbose
Verbose mode; show all commands that modify the package build directory.
.TP
.B \-a, \--arch
Install man pages into all architecture dependent packages.
.TP
.B \-i, \--indep
Install man pages into all architecture independent packages.
.TP
.B \--no-act
Do not really do anything. If used with -v, the result is that this command
will output a list of what it would have done.
.TP
.B \-ppackage, \--package=package
Install man pages into the package named "package".
.TP
.B \-Ptmpdir, \--tmpdir=tmpdir
Use "tmpdir" for package build directory.
.TP
.B file ...
Do not install these files as man pages, even if they look like valid man
pages.
.SH NOTES
The
.B \-a
.B \-i
and
.B \-p
arguments are cumulative. If none are specified, then all packages listed in
the control file will be effected.
.P
dh_installmanpages will install the man pages it finds into
.B all
packages you tell it to act on, since it can't tell what package the man
pages belong in.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP
.I DH_VERBOSE
Enables verbose mode
.TP
.I DH_NO_ACT
Enables no-act mode (see above).
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR /usr/doc/debhelper/README
.SH BUGS
Man pages with the extension
.B .man
are not automatically installed.
.P
Files specified as parameters that contain spaces in their filenames will
not be processed properly.
.P
By default, all man pages are installed into all binary packages, which is
almost never what you really want (use -p to work around this).
.P
This is a "Do what I Mean" type program - you have been warned!
