DH_UCF(1)                          Debhelper                         DH_UCF(1)

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.
