\&\fBdh_installdirs\fR [\fIdebhelper options\fR] [\fB\-A\fR] [\fB\-\-sourcedir=\fR\fIdir\fR] [\fB\-\-create\-in\-sourcedir\fR] [\fIdir\fR ...]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBdh_installdirs\fR is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
subdirectories in package build directories.
.PP
Many packages can get away with omitting the call to \fBdh_installdirs\fR
completely.  Notably, other \fBdh_*\fR commands are expected to create
directories as needed.
.SH "FILES"
.IX Header "FILES"
.IP "debian/\fIpackage\fR.dirs" 4
.IX Item "debian/package.dirs"
Lists directories to be created in \fIpackage\fR.
.Sp
Generally, there is no need to list directories created by the
upstream build system or directories needed by other \fBdebhelper\fR
commands.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-all\fR" 4
.IX Item "-A, --all"
Create any directories specified by command line parameters in \s-1ALL\s0 packages
acted on, not just the first.
.IP "\fB\-\-create\-in\-sourcedir\fR, \fB\-\-no\-create\-in\-sourcedir\fR" 4
.IX Item "--create-in-sourcedir, --no-create-in-sourcedir"
Whether to create the specified directories in the source directory
(usually \fIdebian/tmp\fR) \fIin addition to\fR in the package build directory
(usually \fIdebian/\fIpackage\fI\fR).
.Sp
The default is \fB\-\-no\-create\-in\-sourcedir\fR.
.IP "\fB\-\-sourcedir=\fR\fIdir\fR" 4
.IX Item "--sourcedir=dir"
Consider \fIdir\fR the source directory for the packages acted on instead
of the default (which is usually \fIdebian/tmp\fR).
.Sp
Please note that this option is dependent on the
\&\fB\-\-create\-in\-sourcedir\fR option (when \fB\-\-no\-create\-in\-sourcedir\fR is
in effect, this option does nothing in \fBdh_installdirs\fR).
.IP "\fIdir\fR ..." 4
.IX Item "dir ..."
Create these directories in the package build directory of the first
package acted on. (Or in all packages if \fB\-A\fR is specified.)
.SH "SEE ALSO"
