NAME

6       dh_clean - clean up package build directories
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_clean [debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [path ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up
13       after a package is built. It removes the package build directories, and
14       removes some other files including debian/files, and any detritus left
15       behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files that
16       should not appear in a Debian diff:
17         #*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P *-stamp
18
19       It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use
20       dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.
21
22       dh_clean should be the last debhelper command run in the clean target
23       in debian/rules.
24

FILES

26       debian/clean
27           Can list other paths to be removed.
28
29           Note that directories listed in this file must end with a trailing
30           slash.  Any content in these directories will be removed as well.
31

OPTIONS

33       -k, --keep
34           This is deprecated, use dh_prep(1) instead.
35
36           The option is removed in compat 12.
37
38       -d, --dirs-only
39           Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other
40           files at all.
41
42       -Xitem --exclude=item
43           Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from
44           being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use
45           this option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.
46
47       path ...
48           Delete these paths too.
49
50           Note that directories passed as arguments must end with a trailing
51           slash.  Any content in these directories will be removed as well.
