NAME
       dh_installexamples - install example files into package
       build directories

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installexamples [debhelper options] [-A] [-Xitem]
       [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installexamples is a debhelper program that is respon-
       sible for installing examples into usr/share/doc/pack-
       age/examples in package build directories.

       Any file names specified as parameters will be installed
       into the first package dh_installexamples 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.

       Files named debian/package.examples can list other files
       to be installed.

OPTIONS
       -A, --all
           Install any files specified by command line parameters
           in ALL packages acted on.

       file ...
           Install these files as examples into the first package
           acted on. (Or into all packages if -A is specified.)

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
           Exclude files that contain "item" anywhere in their
           filename from being installed.

NOTES
       Note that dh_installexamples will happily copy entire
       directory hierarchies if you ask it to (similar to cp -a).
       If it is asked to install a directory, it will install the
       complete contents of the directory.
