NAME

       dh_installdirs - create subdirectories in package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installdirs [debhelper options] [-A] [dir ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating subdirectories in package build
       directories.

       Many packages can get away with omitting the call to dh_installdirs completely.  Notably, other dh_*
       commands are expected to create directories as needed.

FILES

       debian/package.dirs
           Lists directories to be created in package.

           Generally,  there  is no need to list directories created by the upstream build system or directories
           needed by other debhelper commands.

OPTIONS

       -A, --all
           Create any directories specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on,  not  just  the
           first.

       dir ...
           Create  these  directories  in  the package build directory of the first package acted on. (Or in all
           packages if -A is specified.)

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
