Note that the doc-id will be determined from the \fBDocument:\fR entry in the doc-base control file in question. In the event that multiple doc-base files in a single source package share the same doc-id, they will be installed to usr/share/doc\-base/package instead of usr/share/doc\-base/doc\-id. .IP "debian/\fIpackage\fR.doc\-base.*" 4 .IX Item "debian/package.doc-base.*" If your package needs to register more than one document, you need multiple doc-base files, and can name them like this. In the event that multiple doc-base files of this style in a single source package share the same doc-id, they will be installed to usr/share/doc\-base/package\-* instead of usr/share/doc\-base/doc\-id. .SH "OPTIONS" .IX Header "OPTIONS" .IP "\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-all\fR" 4 .IX Item "-A, --all" Install all files specified by command line parameters in \s-1ALL\s0 packages acted on. .IP "\fB\-X\fR\fIitem\fR, \fB\-\-exclude=\fR\fIitem\fR" 4 .IX Item "-Xitem, --exclude=item" Exclude files that contain \fIitem\fR anywhere in their filename from being installed. Note that this includes doc-base files. .IP "\fB\-\-link\-doc=\fR\fIpackage\fR" 4 .IX Item "--link-doc=package" Make the documentation directory of all packages acted on be a symlink to the documentation directory of \fIpackage\fR. This has no effect when acting on \&\fIpackage\fR itself, or if the documentation directory to be created already exists when \fBdh_installdocs\fR is run. To comply with policy, \fIpackage\fR must be a binary package that comes from the same source package. .Sp debhelper will try to avoid installing files into linked documentation directories that would cause conflicts with the linked package. The \fB\-A\fR option will have no effect on packages with linked documentation directories, and \fIcopyright\fR, \fIchangelog\fR, \fI\s-1README\s0.Debian\fR, and \fI\s-1TODO\s0\fR files will not be installed. .Sp (An older method to accomplish the same thing, which is still supported, is to make the documentation directory of a package be a dangling symlink, before calling \fBdh_installdocs\fR.) .IP "\fIfile\fR ..." 4 .IX Item "file ..." Install these files as documentation into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if \fB\-A\fR is specified). .SH "EXAMPLES" .IX Header "EXAMPLES" This is an example of a \fIdebian/package.docs\fR file: .PP .Vb 6 \& README \& TODO \& debian/notes\-for\-maintainers.txt \& docs/manual.txt \& docs/manual.pdf \& docs/manual\-html/ .Ve .SH "NOTES" .IX Header "NOTES" Note that \fBdh_installdocs\fR will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if you ask it to (similar to \fBcp \-a\fR). If it is asked to install a directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory. .PP Note that this command is not idempotent. \fIdh_prep\fR\|(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. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fIdebhelper\fR\|(7) .PP This program is a part of debhelper. .SH "AUTHOR" .IX Header "AUTHOR" Joey Hess
