| 20 | .SH NAME | |
| 21 | deb\-conffiles \- package conffiles | |
| 22 | . | |
| 23 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 24 | conffiles | |
| 25 | . | |
| 26 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 27 | A package declares its list of conffiles by including a \fIconffiles\fP file | |
| 28 | in its control archive (i.e. \fIDEBIAN/conffiles\fP during package creation). | |
| 29 | .PP | |
| 30 | This file contains a list of files, one per line. | |
| 31 | They should be listed as absolute pathnames, and should exist in the binary | |
| 32 | package, otherwise \fBdpkg\fP(1) will ignore them (although by default | |
| 33 | \fBdpkg\-deb\fP(1) will refuse to build such binary packages). | |
| 34 | Trailing whitespace will be trimmed, and empty lines will be ignored. | |
