dgrep(1) [debian man page]

DGREP(1)						   Debian-goodies documentation 						  DGREP(1)

NAME
dgrep, degrep, dfgrep, dzgrep -- grep through files belonging to an installed Debian package SYNOPSIS
dgrep [most grep options] pattern package... dgrep --help DESCRIPTION
dgrep invokes grep(1) on each file in one or more installed Debian packages. It passes the package argument(s) to dglob(1) to retrieve a list of files in those packages. You can use POSIX regular expressions for the package names. If dgrep is invoked as degrep, dfgrep or dzgrep then egrep(1), fgrep(1) or zgrep(1) is used instead of grep. OPTIONS
dgrep supports most of grep(1)'s options. Please refer to your grep documentation (i.e. the manpage or the texinfo manual) for a complete listing. Only a few options are excluded because they do not conform with the intended behaviour, see the list below. Options of grep that are not supported by dgrep -r, --recursive, -d recurse, --directories=recurse -d read, --directories=read dgrep searches only in the "normal" files of a package. It skips all directories and symlinks. Therefor the options of grep that are specific to directories are not supported. AUTHOR

DH_INSTALLDOCS(1)						     Debhelper							 DH_INSTALLDOCS(1)

NAME
dh_installdocs - install documentation into package build directories SYNOPSIS
dh_installdocs [debhelperoptions] [-A] [-Xitem] [file...] DESCRIPTION
dh_installdocs is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing documentation into usr/share/doc/package in package build directories. FILES
debian/package.docs List documentation files to be installed into package. debian/copyright The copyright file is installed into all packages, unless a more specific copyright file is available. debian/package.copyright debian/package.README.Debian debian/package.TODO Each of these files is automatically installed if present for a package. debian/README.Debian debian/TODO These files are installed into the first binary package listed in debian/control. Note that README.debian files are also installed as README.Debian, and TODO files will be installed as TODO.Debian in non-native packages. debian/package.doc-base Installed as doc-base control files. Note that the doc-id will be determined from the Document: entry in the doc-base control file in question. debian/package.doc-base.* If your package needs to register more than one document, you need multiple doc-base files, and can name them like this. OPTIONS
-A, --all Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on. -Xitem, --exclude=item Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed. Note that this includes doc-base files. --link-doc=package Make the documentation directory of all packages acted on be a symlink to the documentation directory of package. This has no effect when acting on package itself, or if the documentation directory to be created already exists when dh_installdocs is run. To comply with policy, package must be a binary package that comes from the same source package. debhelper will try to avoid installing files into linked documentation directories that would cause conflicts with the linked package. The -A option will have no effect on packages with linked documentation directories, and copyright, changelog, README.Debian, and TODO files will not be installed. (An older method to accomplish the same thing, which is still supported, is to make the documentation directory of a package be a dangling symlink, before calling dh_installdocs.) file ... Install these files as documentation into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified). EXAMPLES
This is an example of a debian/package.docs file: README TODO debian/notes-for-maintainers.txt docs/manual.txt docs/manual.pdf docs/manual-html/ NOTES
Note that dh_installdocs will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if you ask it to (similar to cp -a). If it is asked to install a directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory. 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. SEE ALSO
