DH_TESTROOT(1)                                                       Debhelper                                                      DH_TESTROOT(1)

NAME

       dh_testroot - ensure that a package is built with necessary level of root permissions

SYNOPSIS

       dh_testroot [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_testroot is used to determine if the package has access to at least the level of root access that it declared it needed via the Rules-
       Requires-Root (R3) field.

       The following is how dh_testroot behaves based on the effective value of the R3 field:

       "binary-targets"
           dh_testroot asserts that it is run as root or under fakeroot(1).

       "no"
           dh_testroot returns successfully.

       Any other value than the above
           dh_testroot asserts that it is either run as root (or under fakeroot(1)) or the builder has provided the DEB_GAIN_ROOT_CMD environment
           variable (e.g. via dpkg-buildpackage -r).

       For backwards compatibility, dh_testroot will consider the absence of the R3 field as if the R3 field was set to "binary-targets".
