NAME

       dh_installexamples - install example files into package build
       directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installexamples [debhelperoptions] [-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 ...
           Install these files (or directories) as examples into the first
           package acted on. (Or into all packages if -A is specified.)

NOTES

       Note that dh_installexamples will happily copy entire directory
       hierarchies if you ask it to (similar to cp -a). If it is asked to
       install a directory, it will install the complete contents of the
       directory.
