DH_CLICK(1)

💖 DH_CLICK(1) 💖

okay so bestie, we're talking dh_click from the Debhelper manual, and honestly? she's niche but she serves. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

dh_click — install system hooks for click

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dh_click [debhelper options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so dh_click is a debhelper program, and her whole job — her entire main character arc — is installing system hooks for click. that's it. that's the gig. 👑

she's also lowkey a little overachiever because she automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands you need to interface with the Ubuntu click package. and not just generates them — those commands get inserted into the maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb(1). the way she just does that for you?? obsessed. 💅

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• debian/package.click-hook — these are the click package hook files, and they get installed into usr/share/click/hooks/package.hook in the package build directory. if you wanna know their format, go peek at /usr/share/doc/click-doc/html/hooks.html. iykyk 📖✨

---

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• -n, --noscripts — do not modify postinst/postrm scripts. hands off, bestie. 🙈
• --name=name — install the hook using the filename name instead of the default filename, which is the package name. when you use this parameter, dh_click goes looking for (and installs) files named debian/package.name.hook, instead of the usual debian/package.hook. so it's giving... customized. very her. 💫

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

dh_click is usually called indirectly in a rules file via the dh command, like this:

%:
    dh $@ --with click

⚠️ okay important: you must build-depend on at least debhelper (>= 7.0.8) to use this form. and in any case — like, no matter what — you must build-depend on click-dev to use this program at all. no click-dev, no vibes. periodt. 💀

she can also be called directly at any time before "dh_installdeb", usually in a binary-arch or binary-indep rule. flexible queen. 🌟
