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.
