NAME

       dh_installwm - register a window manager

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installwm [debhelper options] [-n] [--priority=n] [wm ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installwm is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the postinst and prerm commands
       that register a window manager with update-alternatives(8). The window manager's man page is also
       registered as a slave symlink (in v6 mode and up).  It must be installed in usr/share/man/man1/ in the
       package build directory prior to calling dh_installwm.  In compat 9 and earlier, the manpage was
       optional.

FILES

       debian/package.wm
           List window manager programs to register.

           Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as documented in debhelper(7).

OPTIONS

       --priority=n
           Set the priority of the window manager. Default is 20, which is too low for most window managers; see
           the Debian Policy document for instructions on calculating the correct value.

       -n, --no-scripts
           Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. Turns this command into a no-op.

       -A, --all
           Modify scripts for window managers specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on, not
           just the first.

       wm ...
           Window manager programs to register.

NOTES

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