NAME

       dh_installcatalogs - install and register SGML Catalogs

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installcatalogs [debhelper options] [-n]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installcatalogs is a debhelper program that installs and registers SGML catalogs. It complies with the
       Debian XML/SGML policy.

       Catalogs will be registered in a supercatalog, in /etc/sgml/package.cat.

       This command automatically adds maintainer script snippets for registering and unregistering the catalogs
       and supercatalogs (unless -n is used). These snippets are inserted into the maintainer scripts and the
       triggers file by dh_installdeb; see dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of Debhelper maintainer script
       snippets.

       A dependency on sgml-base will be added to ${misc:Depends}, so be sure your package uses that variable in
       debian/control.

FILES

       debian/package.sgmlcatalogs
           Lists  the catalogs to be installed per package. Each line in that file should be of the form "source
           dest", where source indicates where the catalog resides in the source tree, and  dest  indicates  the
           destination  location  for  the  catalog  under  the  package  build  area.  dest  should  start with
           /usr/share/sgml/.

           Supports substitution variables in compat 13 and later as documented in debhelper(7).

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
           Do not modify postinst/postrm/prerm scripts nor add an activation trigger.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent.  dh_prep(1)  should  be  called  between  invocations  of  this
       command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
