<!-- Process this file with docbook-to-man to generate an nroff manual

     the manual page with: `docbook-to-man manpage.sgml | nroff -man |

manpage.1: manpage.sgml

	The docbook-to-man binary is found in the docbook-to-man package.
	Please remember that if you create the nroff version in one of the
	debian/rules file targets (such as build), you will need to include
	docbook-to-man in your Build-Depends control field.

    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>This manual page documents briefly the
      <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.</para>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> is used to create TDE
    resources in temporary directories and symlinks to them in
    <envar>TDEHOME</envar>. The resource that needs to be created is
    given as an argument and can be anyone of:</para>

    <itemizedlist>

    <listitem><para><emphasis>tmp</emphasis>: for the directory used
    for storing temporary files. This directory should be preferably
    on a local filesystem (available in KDE 2.x)</para> </listitem>

    <listitem><para><emphasis>socket</emphasis>: for the directory
    that holds temporary sockets. This directory needs to be on the
    local filesystem (available in KDE 2.x)</para> </listitem>

    <listitem><para><emphasis>cache</emphasis>: for the directory that
    stores cached information such as the HTTP cache and favicons
    (available since KDE 3.0)</para> </listitem>

    </itemizedlist>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> will create the first two
    resources in directories under <filename>/tmp</filename> (or
    <envar>TDETMP</envar> if defined in the environment) and will use
    <filename>/var/tmp</filename> (or <envar>TDEVARTMP</envar> if
    defined in the environment) for the <emphasis>cache</emphasis>
    resource (in order to survive system reboots). The temporary
    directories created for resources are usually of the form
    <filename>RESOURCE-USERNAME</filename>. The name might vary if
    those filenames already exist and do not belong to the user for
    which <command>&dhpackage;</command> is run, a temporary (unique)
    name will be used if possible to prevent temporary symlink
    attacks.  </para>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> is usually called by the
    <command>starttde</command> script.</para>

  </refsect1>
  <refsect1>
    <title>EXIT VALUES</title>

    <para><command>&dhpackage;</command> will return 0 if it can
    create the resource and symlink to it, or if the resource already
    exists and is properly symlinked it will return 1 if it cannot
    create the link or if the symlink is pointing to an incorrect
    location.</para>
