NAME

       deb-preinst - package pre-installation maintainer script

SYNOPSIS

       preinst

DESCRIPTION

       A  package  can	perform  several  pre-installation  actions via maintainer scripts, by including an executable preinst file in its control
       archive (i.e. DEBIAN/preinst during package creation).

       The script can be called in the following ways:

       new-preinst install
	      Before the package is installed.

       new-preinst install old-version new-version
	      Before removed package is upgraded.

       new-preinst upgrade old-version new-version
	      Before the package is upgraded.

       old-preinst abort-upgrade new-version
	      If postrm fails during upgrade or fails on failed upgrade.

NAME

       dh_installmodules - register kernel modules

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installmodules [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installmodules is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering kernel modules.

       Kernel modules are searched for in the package build directory and if found, preinst, postinst and postrm commands are automatically
       generated to run depmod and register the modules when the package is installed.	These commands are inserted into the maintainer scripts by
       dh_installdeb(1).

FILES

       debian/package.modprobe
	   Installed to etc/modprobe.d/package.conf in the package build directory.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
	   Do not modify preinst/postinst/postrm scripts.

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

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.
