NAME

6       dh_installdirs - create subdirectories in package build directories
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_installdirs [debhelper options] [-A] [--sourcedir=dir]
10       [--create-in-sourcedir] [dir ...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
14       subdirectories in package build directories.
15
16       Many packages can get away with omitting the call to dh_installdirs
17       completely.  Notably, other dh_* commands are expected to create
18       directories as needed.
19

FILES

21       debian/package.dirs
22           Lists directories to be created in package.
23
24           Generally, there is no need to list directories created by the
25           upstream build system or directories needed by other debhelper
26           commands.
27

OPTIONS

29       -A, --all
30           Create any directories specified by command line parameters in ALL
31           packages acted on, not just the first.
32
33       --create-in-sourcedir, --no-create-in-sourcedir
34           Whether to create the specified directories in the source directory
35           (usually debian/tmp) in addition to in the package build directory
36           (usually debian/package).
37
38           The default is --no-create-in-sourcedir.
39
40       --sourcedir=dir
41           Consider dir the source directory for the packages acted on instead
42           of the default (which is usually debian/tmp).
43
44           Please note that this option is dependent on the
45           --create-in-sourcedir option (when --no-create-in-sourcedir is in
46           effect, this option does nothing in dh_installdirs).
47
48       dir ...
49           Create these directories in the package build directory of the
50           first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified.)
