NAME

       dh_installsystemduser - install systemd unit files

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installsystemduser [debhelper options] [--no-enable] [--name=name] [unit file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installsystemduser finds the systemd user instance service files installed by a package and generates
       preinst, postinst, and prerm code blocks for enabling, disabling, starting, stopping, and restarting the
       corresponding systemd user instance services, when the package is installed, updated, or removed. These
       snippets are added to the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb(1).

       deb-systemd-helper(1) is used to enable and disable the systemd units, thus it is not necessary that the
       machine actually runs systemd during package installation time, enabling happens on all machines.

       dh_installsystemduser operates on all user instance unit files installed by a package. For only
       generating blocks for specific unit files, pass them as arguments. Specific unit files can be excluded
       from processing using the -X common debhelper(1) option.

FILES

       debian/package.user.path, debian/package@.user.path, debian/package.user.service,
       debian/package@.user.service, debian/package.user.socket, debian/package@.user.socket,
       debian/package.user.target, debian/package@.user.target, debian/package.user.timer,
       debian/package@.user.timer
           If  any  of  those  files  exists, they are installed into usr/lib/systemd/user/ in the package build
           directory removing the .user file name part.

OPTIONS

       --name=name
           Install the service file as name.service instead of the default filename package.service.  When  this
           parameter     is     used,     dh_installsystemd    looks    for    and    installs    files    named
           debian/package.name.user.service  instead  of  the  usual   debian/package.user.service.    Moreover,
           maintainer scripts are only generated for units that match the given name.

       --no-enable
           Disable the service(s) on purge, but do not enable them on install.

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.
