--- name: "dh_createclipolicy" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "cli-common-dev" version: "0.4.6" release: "Debian 4.0 (Etch)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/dh_createclipolicy" --- # dh\_createclipolicy(1) created the CLI policy files for a package ## NAME dh\_createclipolicy - created the CLI policy files for a package ## SYNOPSIS **dh\_createclipolicy** \[*debhelper options*\] \[**-n**\] ## DESCRIPTION dh\_createclipolicy is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating, compiling, and installing policy files for a Debian package. This automatically includes postinst and prerum commands needed to install these policies into the system. ## OPTIONS - **-n**, **--noscripts** Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts. ## FILE FORMAT This file uses the *policyassemblies* files (either *policyassemblies* or *packagename.policyassemblies*) to generate the policy file. It supports multiple versions of the policy, including mapping multiple versions to a single file. The file format of the *policyassemblies* file is: path/to/Assembly.dll \ \ The fields can be separated with spaces or tabs. Comments start the line with *#* characters. - **Version Range** can be a single four-part version, such as =1.2.3.4, or a full range, such as 1.2.3.4-1.2.6.7. For a single line, =the first two numbers must be identical. To have an assembly apply to =multiple versions, such as 1.2.0.0 to 2.4.0.0, there needs to be one =line for each version range. - **Key File**: The path to the .snk or key file used to sign the =assembly. Policy files have to be compiled with the same key, so this =is required. ## NOTES Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh\_clean -k" 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 [*debhelper*(7)](/debhelper/7.md) This program is a part of cli-common-dev. ## AUTHOR Dylan R.
