dh_auto_clean \- automatically cleans up after a build
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
\&\fBdh_auto_clean\fR [\fIbuild system options\fR] [\fIdebhelper options\fR] [\fB\-\-\fR \fIparams\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBdh_auto_clean\fR is a debhelper program that tries to automatically clean up
after a package build. It does so by running the appropriate command for
the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a
\&\fIMakefile\fR and it contains a \fBdistclean\fR, \fBrealclean\fR, or \fBclean\fR target,
then this is done by running \fBmake\fR (or \fB\s-1MAKE\s0\fR, if the environment variable is
set). If there is a \fIsetup.py\fR or \fIBuild.PL\fR, it is run to clean the package.
.PP
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or
tries to use the wrong clean target, you're encouraged to skip using
\&\fBdh_auto_clean\fR at all, and just run \fBmake clean\fR manually.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
See "\fB\s-1BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS\s0\fR" in \fIdebhelper\fR\|(7) for a list of common build
system selection and control options.
.IP "\fB\-\-\fR \fIparams\fR" 4
.IX Item "-- params"
Pass \fIparams\fR to the program that is run, after the parameters that
\&\fBdh_auto_clean\fR usually passes.
