DH_INSTALLSYSUSERS(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLSYSUSERS(1)
NAME
dh_installsysusers - install and integrates systemd sysusers files
SYNOPSIS
dh_installsysusers [debhelper options]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installsysusers is a debhelper program that is responsible for
installing package maintainer supplied systemd sysusers files.
It also finds the systemd sysusers files installed in a package and
generates relevant integration snippets for enabling the users on
installation. These snippets are added to the package by
dh_installdeb(1).
FILES
debian/package.sysusers
If the file exist, it will be installed as
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/package.conf.
OPTIONS
--name=name
When this parameter is used, dh_installsysusers looks for and
installs files named debian/package.name.sysusers instead of the
usual debian/package.sysusers.
Furthermore, the file is installed as /usr/lib/sysusers.d/name.conf
rather than /usr/lib/sysusers.d/package.conf.
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.
