NAME
dh_auto_clean - automatically cleans up after a build
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_clean [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_clean is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate command for the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a distclean, realclean, or clean target, then this is done by running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is run to clean the package. This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using dh_auto_clean at all, and just run make clean manually.
OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options. -- params Pass params to the program that is run. These can be used to supplement or override the any standard parameters that dh_auto_clean passes.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper.
