NAME

       dh-exec-subst - Debhelper executable file substition scripts

SYNOPSIS

       #! /usr/bin/dh-exec
       src/libfoo-*.so.* debian/foo-plugins/usr/lib/foo/${DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH}/

DESCRIPTION

       Being a sub-command of dh-exec(1), this program must not be ran directly, but through dh-exec, which
       automatically runs all available sub-commands if run bare; or explicitly with dh-exec --with=subst.

       It is a wrapper around the various other substitution helpers, and will pipe the input file through all
       the available substitution helpers. It is up to these scripts to do the actual work.

       When a helper fails to expand a variable within its input, it will leave it as-is, so that later in the
       pipeline it can perhaps be expanded by another program.

SCRIPTS

       dh-exec-subst-env
              Substitutes  any  of  the available, exported environment variables into its input. It does not do
              any kind  of  filtering:  whatever  is  available  in  the  environment,  will  be  available  for
              substitution, however unsafe that may be.

              Introduced in version 0.1.

       dh-exec-subst-multiarch
              Attempts  to  expand  any  of  the  variables  known  to  dpkg-architecture(1),  mostly useful for
              multi-arch support.

              The command will query dpkg-architecture(1) directly, and does not rely on  environment  variables
              set (as the called program will prefer already set environment variables anyway).

              Introduced in version 0.1.

ENVIRONMENT

       DH_EXEC_SCRIPTDIR
           Indicates  which  directory  the  command-specific  scripts  should  be sought for. If not specified,
           scripts will be searched for in /usr/share/dh-exec/.

FILES

       $DH_EXEC_SCRIPTDIR/dh-exec-subst-*
