dpkg-trigger - a package trigger utility
dpkg-trigger [option...] trigger-name
dpkg-trigger [option...] command
dpkg-trigger is a tool to explicitly activate triggers and check for
its support on the running dpkg.
This can be used by maintainer scripts in complex and conditional
situations where the file triggers, or the declarative activate
triggers control file directive, are insufficiently rich. It can also
be used for testing and by system administrators (but note that the
triggers won't actually be run by dpkg-trigger).
Unrecognized trigger name syntaxes are an error for dpkg-trigger.
--check-supported
Check if the running dpkg supports triggers (usually called
from a postinst). Will exit 0 if a triggers-capable dpkg has
run, or 1 with an error message to stderr if not. Normally,
however, it is better just to activate the desired trigger
with dpkg-trigger.
-?, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
--admindir=dir
Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location
is /usr/local/var/lib/dpkg.
--by-package=package
Override trigger awaiter (normally set by dpkg through the
DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE environment variable of the
maintainer scripts, naming the package to which the script
belongs, and this will be used by default).
--no-await
This option arranges that the calling package T (if any) need
not await the processing of this trigger; the interested
package(s) I, will not be added to T's trigger processing
awaited list and T's status is unchanged. T may be considered
installed even though I may not yet have processed the
trigger.
--await
This option does the inverse of --no-await (since dpkg
1.17.21). It is currently the default behavior.
--no-act
Just test, do not actually change anything.
0 The requested action was successfully performed. Or a check
or assertion command returned true.
1 A check or assertion command returned false.
2 Fatal or unrecoverable error due to invalid command-line
usage, or interactions with the system, such as accesses to
the database, memory allocations, etc.
DPKG_ADMINDIR
If set and the --admindir option has not been specified, it
will be used as the dpkg data directory.
