dh_fixperms - fix permissions of files in package build directories
!!SYNOPSIS


__dh_fixperms__ [[''debhelper options'']
[[__-X__''item'']
!!DESCRIPTION


dh_fixperms is a debhelper program that is responsible for
setting the permissions of files and directories in package
build directories to a sane state -- a state that complies
with Debian policy.


dh_fixperms makes all files in usr/share/doc in the package
build directory (excluding files in the examples/ directory)
be mode 644. It also changes the permissions of all man
pages to mode 644. It makes all files be owned by root, and
it removes group and other write permission from all files.
It removes execute permissions from any libraries that have
it set. It makes all files in bin/ directories and
etc/init.d executable (v4 only). Finally, it removes the
setuid and setgid bits from all files in the
package.
!!OPTIONS


__-X__''item'', __--exclude__
''item''


Exclude files that contain ``item'' anywhere in their
filename from having their permissions changed. You may use
this option multiple times to build up a list of things to
exclude.
