NAME
       hostsearch -- query several hosts for installed Debian packages

SYNOPSIS
       hostsearch [-f hostsfile] pkgname...
       hostsearch [-hV]

DESCRIPTION
       The  hostsearch	utility	connects to several hosts using	SSH and	checks
       if the specified	Debian packages	are installed.

       Options:

       -f      Specify the file	containing the list of	hosts  to  query  (de-
	       fault: int.hoster.bg.z).

       -h      Display program usage information and exit.

       -V      Display program version information and exit.

RETURN VALUES
       The hostsearch utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

ENVIRONMENT
       The  hostsearch	utility's operation is currently not directly affected
       by its environment.

FILES
       The  hostsearch	 utility   reads   the	 hosts	 list	file   (either
       int.hoster.bg.z	or the one specified as	an argument to the -f command-
       line option) to determine the list of hosts to connect to.  This	should
       be a plain text file containing one hostname per	row.

EXAMPLES
       Connect to the hosts listed in the int.hoster.bg.z file and list	 those
       that have curl installed:

	     hostsearch	curl

       Specify a different host	list file and check for	more packages:

	     hostsearch	-f ringlet.z apt-listchanges sysgather
