20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 dh_installmanpages is a debhelper program that is
24 responsible for automatically installing man pages into
25 usr/share/man/ and usr/X11R6/man/ in package build
26 directories.
27
28
29 This is a DWIM-style program, with an interface unlike the
30 rest of debhelper. You are encouraged to use
31 ''dh_installman''(1) instead.
32
33
34 dh_installmanpages scans the current directory and all
35 subdirectories for filenames that look like man pages. (Note
36 that only real files are looked at; symlinks are ignored.)
37 It uses file(1) to verify that the files are in the
38 correct format. Then, based on the files' extensions, it
39 installs them into the correct man directory.
40
41
42 All filenames specified as parameters will be skipped by
43 dh_installmanpages. This is useful if by default it installs
44 some man pages that you do not want to be
45 installed.
46
47
48 After the man page installation step, dh_installmanpages
49 will check to see if any of the man pages are ``.so'' links.
50 If so, it changes them to symlinks.
51 !!OPTIONS

53
54 ''file ...''

56
57 Do not install these files as man pages, even if they look
58 like valid man pages.
59 !!BUGS
60
61
62 dh_installmanpages will install the man pages it finds into
63 __all__ packages you tell it to act on, since it can't
64 tell what package the man pages belong in. This is almost
65 never what you really want (use -p to work around this, or
66 use the much better ''dh_installman''(1) program
67 instead).
68
69
70 Files ending in ''.man'' will be ignored.
71
72
73 Files specified as parameters that contain spaces in their
74 filenames will not be processed properly.
