DH-DZIL-REFRESH(1)

💅 DH-DZIL-REFRESH 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the dh-dist-zilla corner of the manual pages — this one's all about dh-dzil-refresh, and honestly? it's giving "tiny script, big helper energy". ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dh-dzil-refresh — runs dh-make-perl refresh in dzil's build directory 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dh-dzil-refresh
dh-dzil-refresh [-w|--wrap-and-sort] [-c|--clean-backup-files]
dh-dzil-refresh [-a|--wrap-and-sort-always] [-c|--clean-backup-files]
dh-dzil-refresh [-h|--help]

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

like, here's the whole menu, no skips, no edits, all of it 💖

• -w, --wrap-and-sort — runs wrap-and-sort after dh-make-perl refresh. cute little tidy-up afterwards, we love to see it 🧚
• -a, --wrap-and-sort-always — runs wrap-and-sort -a after dh-make-perl refresh. yeah that's the always version, extra thorough, main character energy 👑
• -c, --clean-backup-files — cleans up the *.bak backup files that dh-make-perl refresh created. bye bye clutter 💀

also there's -h, --help up in the synopsis if you just need a lil refresher on your options. no judgement bestie 🫶

🌈 COMMAND SPELLING 🌈

okay so this is the part where someone always asks "why dashes and not underscores??" and like, valid question, so here's the tea ☕

compared to dh_dzil_build and dh_dzil_clean, this command name is spelled with a dash instead of underscores, and the reason is iconic: it's not a debhelper plugin, and only those should start with dh_. periodt. 💅

the only exemption is dh_make — and that's purely for historical reasons, so don't come for it, it's grandfathered in 🙈

and ngl, note that even dh-make-perl is spelled with dashes. consistent queen. ⭐
