dh_installman
DH_INSTALLMAN(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLMAN(1)
NAME
dh_installman - install man pages into package build directories
SYNOPSIS
dh_installman [debhelperoptions] [manpage...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installman is a debhelper program that handles installing man pages into the correct locations in package build directories. You tell it
what man pages go in your packages, and it figures out where to install them based on the section field in their .TH line. If you have a
properly formatted .TH line, your man page will be installed into the right directory, with the right name (this includes proper handling
of pages with a subsection, like 3perl, which are placed in man3, and given an extension of .3perl). If your .TH line is incorrect or
missing, the program may guess wrong based on the file extension.
It also supports translated man pages, by looking for extensions like .ll.8 and .ll_LL.8, or by use of the --language switch.
If dh_installman seems to install a man page into the wrong section or with the wrong extension, this is because the man page has the wrong
section listed in its .TH line. Edit the man page and correct the section, and dh_installman will follow suit. See man(7) for details about
the .TH section. If dh_installman seems to install a man page into a directory like /usr/share/man/pl/man1/, that is because your program
has a name like foo.pl, and dh_installman assumes that means it is translated into Polish. Use --language=C to avoid this.
After the man page installation step, dh_installman will check to see if any of the man pages in the temporary directories of any of the
packages it is acting on contain .so links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.
Also, dh_installman will use man to guess the character encoding of each manual page and convert it to UTF-8. If the guesswork fails for
some reason, you can override it using an encoding declaration. See manconv(1) for details.
FILES
debian/package.manpages
Lists man pages to be installed.
OPTIONS
-A, --all
Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on.
--language=ll
Use this to specify that the man pages being acted on are written in the specified language.
manpage ...
Install these man pages into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified).
NOTES
An older version of this program, dh_installmanpages(1), is still used by some packages, and so is still included in debhelper. It is,
however, deprecated, due to its counterintuitive and inconsistent interface. Use this program instead.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
