NAME

dh_installdirs - create subdirectories in package build directories

SYNOPSIS

dh_installdirs [''debhelper options''? [__-A__? [''dir ...''?

DESCRIPTION

dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating subdirectories in package build directories.

Any directory names specified as parameters will be created in the package build directory of the first package dh_installdirs 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.

A file named debian/package.dirs can list other directories to be created. Separate the directory names with whitespace.

Be sure to only use directory names relative to the package build directory. Ie, ``/usr/bin should not be used, use ``usr/bin instead.

OPTIONS

-A, --all

Create any directories specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on, not just the first.

dir ...

Create these directories in the package build directory of the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified.)

SEE ALSO

debhelper(1)

This program is a part of debhelper.
