Sorry
I have a folder called update with multiple files in it. There are exsisting files with the same name in the app folder. i want to search for each file from the update directory in the app directory then over write the corresponding files in the app directory

so something like this

Code:
ls /update
   file1.txt
   file2.txt
   file3.txt

find each file name in /app

copy file from /update to the matching file name in /app (all in different sub directories)

Hope that helps

dh_installudev

DH_INSTALLUDEV(1)						     Debhelper							 DH_INSTALLUDEV(1)

NAME

       dh_installudev - install udev rules files

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installudev [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name] [--priority=priority]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installudev is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing udev rules files.

       Code is added to the preinst and postinst to handle the upgrade from the old udev rules file location.

FILES

       debian/package.udev
	   Installed into lib/udev/rules.d/ in the package build directory.

OPTIONS

       --name=name
	   When this parameter is used, dh_installudev looks for and installs files named debian/package.name.udev instead of the usual
	   debian/package.udev.

       --priority=priority
	   Sets the priority string of the rules.d symlink. Default is 40.

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

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
       instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
