dh_installmanpages1
Old-style man page installer (deprecated)
Usage
dh_installmanpages [debhelper
options]
[file ...]
Overview
dh_installmanpages is a debhelper program that is responsible for automatically installing man pages into usr/share/man/ in package build directories.
This is a DWIM-style program, with an interface unlike the rest of debhelper. It is deprecated, and you are encouraged to use dh_installman(1) instead.
dh_installmanpages scans the current directory and all subdirectories for filenames that look like man pages. (Note that only real files are looked at; symlinks are ignored.) It uses file(1) to verify that the files are in the correct format. Then, based on the files' extensions, it installs them into the correct man directory.
All filenames specified as parameters will be skipped by dh_installmanpages. This is useful if by default it installs some man pages that you do not want to be installed.
After the man page installation step, dh_installmanpages will check to see if any of the man pages are .so links. If so, it changes them to symlinks.
