NAME

6       dh_installinitramfs - install initramfs hooks and setup maintscripts
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_installinitramfs [debhelper options] [-n]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_installinitramfs is a debhelper program that is responsible for
13       installing Debian package provided initramfs hooks.
14
15       If dh_installinitramfs installs or detects one or more initramfs hooks
16       in the package, then it also automatically generates the noawait
17       trigger update-initframfs command needed to interface with the Debian
18       initramfs system.  This trigger is inserted into the packaging by
19       dh_installdeb(1).
20

FILES

22       debian/package.initramfs-hook
23           Assumed to be an initramfs hook that will be installed into
24           usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/package in the package build
25           directory. See HOOK SCRIPTS in initramfs-tools(8) for more
26           information about initramfs hooks.
27

OPTIONS

29       -n, --no-scripts
30           Do not add the update-initramfs trigger even if it seems like the
31           package might need it.  The option is called --no-scripts for
32           historical reasons as dh_installinitramfs would previously generate
33           maintainer scripts that called update-initramfs -u.
34
35           Use this option, if you need to interface with the update-initramfs
36           system that is not satisfied by the noawait trigger (e.g. because
37           you need the extra guarantees and head-aches of a await trigger).
38

NOTES

40       Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called
41       between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple
42       instances of the same text to be added to triggers file.
