NAME

       dh_installtmpfiles - install tmpfiles.d configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installtmpfiles [debhelper options][--name=name]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installtmpfiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing package
       maintainer supplied tmpfiles.d configuration files (e.g. for systemd-tmpfiles).

       It also finds the tmpfiles.d configuration files installed by a package and generates
       postinst code blocks for activting the tmpfiles.d configuration when the package is
       installed. These snippets are added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb(1).

OPTIONS

           This option controls both a prefix used for lookng up maintainer provided tmpfiles.d
           configuration files (those mentioned in the "FILES" section) and also the base name
           used for the installed version of the file.

FILES

       debian/package.tmpfiles
           If this exists, it is installed into usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ in the package build
           directory. Note that the "tmpfiles.d" mechanism is currently only used by systemd.

       debian/package.tmpfile
           Deprecated name for debian/package.tmpfiles.

NOTES

       This command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this
       command (with the same arguments). Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same
       text to be added to maintainer scripts.
