DH_INSTALLINFO(O)           Debhelper           DH_INSTALLINFO(O)



NAME
       dh_installinfo - install and register info files

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installinfo [debhelper options] [-A] [-n] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installinfo is a debhelper program that is responsible
       for installing info files and registering the files it
       installs with install-info.

       It determines some information about the info files by
       parsing them, in particular, it looks at the INFO-DIR-SEC-
       TION line to determine what section the info file belongs
       in.

       Any filenames specified as parameters will be installed
       into the first package dh_installinfo 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.info can list other files to be
       installed.

       dh_installinfo will automatically generate the postinst
       and prerm commands needed to interface with install-info,
       updating the info . See dh_installdeb(b) for an explana-
       tion of how this works.

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

       -n, --noscripts
           Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

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

NOTES
       Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k"
       should be called between invocations of this command. Oth-
       erwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text
       to be added to maintainer scripts.
