NAME

       dh_ucf - register configuration files with ucf

SYNOPSIS

       dh_ucf [debhelper options] [-A] [-n] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_ucf is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the postinst and postrm commands that
       register files with ucf(1) and ucfr(1).

FILES

       debian/package.ucf
           List  pairs  of source and destination files to register with ucf. Each pair should be put on its own
           line, with the source and destination separated by whitespace. Both source and  destination  must  be
           absolute  paths.  The  source  should  be  a  file  that  is  provided  by your package, typically in
           /usr/share/, while the destination is typically a file in /etc/.

           A dependency on ucf will be generated in ${misc:Depends}.

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

OPTIONS

       -A, --all
           Install all files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on.

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

       file ...
           Install these info files into the first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified).

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.
