dh_installmime

DH_INSTALLMIME(1)						     Debhelper							 DH_INSTALLMIME(1)

NAME

       dh_installmime - install mime files into package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installmime [debhelperoptions] [-n]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installmime is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing mime files into package build directories.

       It also automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to interface with the debian mime-support and shared-mime-info
       packages. These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb(1).

FILES

       debian/package.mime
	   Installed into usr/lib/mime/packages/package in the package build directory.

       debian/package.sharedmimeinfo
	   Installed into /usr/share/mime/packages/package.xml in the package build directory.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/postrm 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.
