=head1 NAME
dpkg-trigger - a package trigger utility
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<dpkg-trigger>
[I<option>...] I<trigger-name>
B<dpkg-trigger>
[I<option>...] I<command>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<dpkg-trigger> is a tool to explicitly activate triggers and check
for its support on the running B<dpkg>.
This can be used by maintainer scripts in complex and conditional
situations where the file triggers, or the declarative B<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 B<dpkg-trigger>).
Unrecognized trigger name syntaxes are an error for B<dpkg-trigger>.
This program was introduced in dpkg 1.14.17.
=head1 COMMANDS
=over
=item B<--check-supported>
Check if the running B<dpkg> supports triggers (usually called from a
postinst).
Will exit B<0> if a triggers-capable B<dpkg> has run,
or B<1> with an error message to stderr if not.
Normally, however,
it is better just to activate the desired trigger with B<dpkg-trigger>.
=item B<-?>, B<--help>
Show the usage message and exit.
=item B<--version>
Show the version and exit.
=back
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item B<--admindir=>I<dir>
Change the location of the B<dpkg> database.
Defaults to I<%ADMINDIR%> if B<DPKG_ADMINDIR> has not been set.
=item B<--root=>I<directory>
Set the root directory to I<directory>, which sets the administrative
directory to «I<directory>%ADMINDIR%» (since dpkg 1.21.0).
=item B<--by-package=>I<package>
Override trigger awaiter (normally set by B<dpkg> through the
B<DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE> environment variable of the maintainer scripts,
naming the package to which the script belongs, and this will be used
by default).
=item B<--no-await>
This option arranges that the calling package I<T> (if any) need not await
the processing of this trigger; the interested package(s) I<I>, will not be
added to I<T>'s trigger processing awaited list and I<T>'s status is unchanged.
I<T> may be considered installed even though I<I> may not yet have
processed the trigger.
=item B<--await>
This option does the inverse of B<--no-await> (since dpkg 1.17.21).
If the interested package has declared a “noawait” directive, then this
option will not be effective.
It is currently the default behavior.
=item B<--no-act>
Just test, do not actually change anything.
=back
=head1 EXIT STATUS
=over
=item B<0>
The requested action was successfully performed.
Or a check or assertion command returned true.
=item B<1>
A check or assertion command returned false.
=item B<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.
=back
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
=over
=item B<DPKG_ROOT>
If set and the B<--root> option has not been specified, it will be used as
the filesystem root directory (since dpkg 1.21.0).
=item B<DPKG_ADMINDIR>
If set and the B<--admindir> option has not been specified, it will
be used as the B<dpkg> data directory.
=item B<DPKG_DEBUG>
Sets the debug mask (since dpkg 1.21.10) from an octal value.
The currently accepted flags are described in the B<dpkg --debug> option,
but not all these flags might have an effect on this program.
=item B<DPKG_COLORS>
Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).
The currently accepted values are: B<auto> (default), B<always> and
B<never>.
