NAME
       dh_installexamples - install example files into package build directories

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installexamples [debhelperoptions] [-A] [-Xitem] [file...]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installexamples is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing examples into usr/share/doc/package/examples in package build
       directories.

FILES
       debian/package.examples
	   Lists example files or directories to be installed.

OPTIONS
       -A, --all
	   Install any files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       file ...
	   Install these files (or directories) as examples into the first package acted on. (Or into all packages if -A is specified.)

NOTES
       Note that dh_installexamples will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if you ask it to (similar to cp -a). If it is asked to install
       a directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.
