deb-conffiles(5)		   dpkg suite			deb-conffiles(5)

NAME
     deb-conffiles - package conffiles

SYNOPSIS
     conffiles

DESCRIPTION
     A	package  declares its list of conffiles by including a conffiles file in
     its control archive (i.e. DEBIAN/conffiles during package creation).

     This file contains a list of files, one per line.	They should be listed as
     absolute pathnames, and should  exist  in	the  binary  package,  otherwise
     dpkg(1)  will  ignore  them (although by default dpkg-deb(1) will refuse to
     build such binary packages).  Trailing  whitespace  will  be  trimmed,  and
     empty lines will be ignored.

EXAMPLE
     /usr/local/etc/alternatives/README
     /usr/local/etc/cron.daily/dpkg
     /usr/local/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg
     /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/dpkg

SEE ALSO
     dpkg-deb(1), dpkg(1).
