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". SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
