.TH LIVE\-HELPER 7 "2007\-10\-29" "1.0~a34" "live\-helper"

.SH NAME
live\-helper \- Debian Live helper programs

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B lh_* [\fIlive\-helper\ options\fR\|]

.SH DESCRIPTION
Live\-helper is a collection of programs that can be used to build Debian Live system images. The philosophy behind live\-helper is to provide a collection of small, simple, and easily understood tools that can be used in your own program to automate building of a Live system.
.PP
A typical program that uses live\-helper will call several live\-helper commands in sequence. Live\-helper commands are all named with a "lh_" prefix.
