DH_INSTALLWM(M)             Debhelper             DH_INSTALLWM(M)



NAME
       dh_installwm - register a window manager

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installwm [debhelper options] [-n] [--priority=n]
       [wm ...]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installwm is a debhelper program that is responsible
       for generating the postinst and postrm commands that reg-
       ister a window manager with update-alternatives(s)

       Any window manager programs specified as parameters will
       be registered in the first package dh_installwm 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.wm can list other window man-
       ager programs to register.

OPTIONS
       --priority=n
           Set the priority of the window manager. Default is 20,
           which is too low for most window managers; see the
           Debian Policy document for instructions on calculating
           the correct value.

       -n, --noscripts
           Do not modify postinst/postrm scripts. Turns this com-
           mand into a no-op.

       wm ...
           The commands used to run the window manager or window
           managers you want to register.

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.
