dh_undocumented - make symlinks to undocumented.7.gz man page
!!SYNOPSIS


__dh_undocumented__ [[''debhelper options'']
[[__-A__] [[''manpage ...'']
!!DESCRIPTION


dh_undocumented is a debhelper program that is responsible
for making symlinks to undocumented(7) for man pages
that are not present in your package.


The program takes a list of man pages that should be
symlinked to undocumented(7). It examines the
extension to see what section the man page belongs in. After
figuring this out, it generates the necessary
symlinks.


The lists of man pages that need symlinks can be specified
in two ways. Any man page names specified as parameters will
be set up in the first package dh_undocumented 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.


Also, a file named debian/package.undocumented can list
other man page names to set up.
!!OPTIONS


__-A__, __--all__


Install undocumented man page symlinks for any man pages
specified by command line parameters in ALL
packages acted on. I doubt anyone will find this useful,
it's here for consitency with other debhelper
programs.


''manpage ...''


Install undocumented man page symlinks for each of these man
pages into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages
acted on if -A is specified.)


Note that Debian policy prohibits links to
undocumented(7) unless the package has an open bug
report stating that it has no man page. You should really
just write a man page instead; this program is an easy way
out.
