SYNOPSIS

#! /usr/bin/dh-exec
[hurd-i386 kfreebsd-any] debian/non-linux/some-file /usr/lib/my-package
<stage1> src/compiler1 /usr/bin

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 filtering helpers, and will pipe the input file through all the available filtering helpers. It is up to these scripts to do the actual work.

SCRIPTS

dh-exec-filter-arch

Filters out lines that are not for the current architecture. A line can be pre- or post-fixed with a bracketed list of architectures, and it will be kept only if building on one of the architectures.

The filter supports negation and wildcards, with the same syntax as dpkg-architecture(1).

Introduced in version 0.13.

dh-exec-filter-build-profiles

Filters out lines that do not match the build profiles in effect. One can use the same syntax as in debian/control files. If any of the profiles match, the line will be kept, otherwise it gets filtered out.

If a profile is specified, but DEB_BUILD_PROFILES is unset, an error will be thrown.

Introduced in version 0.13.

dh-exec-filter-comments

Removes commented and empty lines.

Introduced in version 0.13.
