=head1 NAME

dh_testroot - ensure that a package is built with necessary level of root permissions

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<dh_testroot> [S<I<debhelper options>>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<dh_testroot> is used to determine if the package has access to at
least the level of root access that it declared it needed via the
Rules-Requires-Root (R³) field.

The following is how B<dh_testroot> behaves based on the effective
value of the R³ field:

=over 4

=item "binary-targets"

B<dh_testroot> asserts that it is run as root or under L<fakeroot(1)>.

=item "no"

B<dh_testroot> returns successfully.

=item Any other value than the above

B<dh_testroot> asserts that it is either run as root (or under
L<fakeroot(1)>) or the builder has provided the B<DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD>
environment variable (e.g. via dpkg-buildpackage -r).

=back

For backwards compatibility, B<dh_testroot> will consider the absence
of the R³ field as if the R³ field was set to "binary-targets".
