NAME
       dh_installdirs - create subdirectories in package build directories

SYNOPSIS
       dh_installdirs [debhelperoptions] [-A] [--sourcedir=dir]
       [--create-in-sourcedir] [dir...]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installdirs is a debhelper program that is responsible for creating
       subdirectories in package build directories.

       Many packages can get away with omitting the call to dh_installdirs
       completely.  Notably, other dh_* commands are expected to create
       directories as needed.

FILES
       debian/package.dirs
           Lists directories to be created in package.

           Generally, there is no need to list directories created by the
           upstream build system or directories needed by other debhelper
           commands.

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

OPTIONS
       -A, --all
           Create any directories specified by command line parameters in ALL
           packages acted on, not just the first.

       --create-in-sourcedir, --no-create-in-sourcedir
           Whether to create the specified directories in the source directory
           (usually debian/tmp) in addition to in the package build directory
           (usually debian/package).

           The default is --no-create-in-sourcedir.

       --sourcedir=dir
           Consider dir the source directory for the packages acted on instead
           of the default (which is usually debian/tmp).

           Please note that this option is dependent on the
           --create-in-sourcedir option (when --no-create-in-sourcedir is in
           effect, this option does nothing in dh_installdirs).

       dir ...
           Create these directories in the package build directory of the
           first package acted on. (Or in all packages if -A is specified.)
