NAME

dh_installexamples - install example files into package build directories

SYNOPSIS

dh_installexamples [debhelper options] [-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 ...
