NAME
       linux-run-hooks - run package installation or removal hooks

SYNOPSIS
       linux-run-hooks image MAINT-SCRIPT KERNEL-VER IMAGE-PATH

       linux-run-hooks headers MAINT-SCRIPT KERNEL-VER
		       -- MAINT-PARAMS ...

DESCRPTION
       linux-run-hooks	is intended to be called from the maintainer scripts of Linux kernel image and headers packages.  It
       uses the run-parts command  to  execute	hooks  installed  in  the  appropriate	subdirectories	of  /etc/kernel	 and
       /usr/share/kernel.

       The first argument is the package type; either image or headers.

       The MAINT-SCRIPT argument must be the name of the maintainer script: preinst, postinst, prerm, or postrm.

       The KERNEL-VER argument must be the kernel version string as shown by uname -r and used in filenames, not the package
       version.

       The IMAGE-PATH argument must be the absolute filename of the kernel image.

       The MAINT-PARAMS arguments must be the parameters received by the maintainer script.
