# dh\_dhelp(1)

install dhelp files and create installation scripts

## NAME

dh\_dhelp - install dhelp files and create installation scripts

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_dhelp** *\[debhelper options\]*

## DESCRIPTION

dh\_dhelp is a debhelper program that is responsible for  installing files used by the debian dhelp (HTML online help) package into package build directories.

It also automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to interface with the debian dhelp package. See  [**dh\_installdeb**(1)](/dh_installdeb/1.md) for an explanation of how this works.

If a file named debian/dhelp.package exists, then it is installed as usr/share/doc/package/.dhelp in the package build directory.

For the first first binary package listed in the control file, you  may use debian/dhelp instead.

## OPTIONS

Only the -p and the -P options of the debhelper options are supported. See [**debhelper**(1)](/debhelper/1.md) for a description of these options.

## SEE ALSO

[**debhelper**(1)](/debhelper/1.md) , [**dhelp\_parse**(8)](/dhelp_parse/8.md)

## CONFORMS TO
