NAME

       dh_runit - install/enable runit runscripts

SYNOPSIS

       dh_runit [debhelper options] [path options] ...

DESCRIPTION

       dh_runit is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing and enabling runit
       runscripts. If file named debian/package.runit exists, then different actions are
       performed, depending on its format.

       For runit, every unit of supervision, simply speaking program, is represented by directory
       under /etc/sv, containing at least run executable file. Every enabled program is
       represented by symbolic link under /etc/services (which itself is symbolic link to
       /etc/runit/runsvdir/default) pointing to some directory under /etc/sv.

       dh_runit reads it's arguments from command line and debian/package.runit by two, with
       first one being an file/directory and second one is options. If first argument is file, it
       is considered 'run' script, and it is installed under /etc/sv/*/run, executable bit is
       added. If first argument is directory, it is copied as whole under /etc/sv.

       Options are comma-separated, like to mount. Unsupported option is error, following are
       supported:

       disable
               With this option, runscript is installed, but not enabled by
               default. It means that corresponding service will not be started.
               System administrator can always do it manually or via
               update-service(8).

       name=preferred-name
               By default, name of directory under F</etc/sv> for given runscript
               is basename of first argument of pair. This option allows you to
               be explicit about it.

       logscript
               Install standard F<log/run> script, which invokes svlogd(8) with
               rights of dedicated user. It is error, if first argument in pair
               is directory, which already contains F</log/run> script.

       defaults
               If you need no other options, put this one.

EXAMPLES

       This section contains several example snippets from package.runit

         # In this case file is installed as 'run' script. Directory name under
         # /etc/sv is derived from file basename
         path/to/file/to/be/installed/as/run/script defaults

         # Same, but install directory as whole. It is your responsibility
         # to ensure is contains everything required.
         path/to/directory defaults

         # Same as above, but do not create symlink under /etc/service
         path/to/directory disable

         # You can explicitly specify name of directory under /etc/sv.
         # Standard log/run script will be created.
         path/to/directory name=my-preferred-name,logscript
