-.SH NAME
-dh_movefiles \- move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B dh_movefiles
-.I "[debhelper options] [--sourcedir=dir] [file ..]"
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files out
-of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package build
-directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs
-everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that up into subpackages.
-.P
-Files named debian/package.files list the files to be moved, separated by
-whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
-also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved. If you
-prefer, you can list the files to move on the command line and this will
-apply to the first package dh_movefiles is told to act on.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B debhelper options
-See
-.BR debhelper (1)
-for a list of options common to all debhelper commands.
-.TP
-.B --sourcedir=dir
-Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this option makes
-it move files out of some other directory. Since the entire contents of
-the sourcedir is moved, specifiying something like --sourcedir=/ is very
-unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must be a relative filename; it
-cannot begin with a `/'.
-.TP
-.B file ..
-Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/.
-You can also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved. You
-can even use wildcards if you like. It is an error to list files here unless
-you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to put them in.
-.SH NOTES
-Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even if you
-have instructed debhelper to use a compatability level higher than one,
-which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea
-behind this is that the package that is being built can be told to install
-into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that
-directory. Any files or directories that remain are ignored, and get
-deleted by dh_clean later.
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-See
-.BR debhelper (1)
-for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands.
