NAME

       packagesearch — Program to search for debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       packagesearch [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the packagesearch program.

       There  is  not  much  to  say  about it. Start it by typing packagesearch and use the help
       function offered by the program if necessary.

       packagesearch is aimed to help you searching the packages you need.  It  should  make  the
       task  of  searching  a  pleasant  experience.  Originally I designed it for the purpose of
       finding a single package where you have a clear imagination of what you want. But you  can
       also  use  it to simply browse your packages to explore. Perhaps there is something in the
       database that you simply must have :-).

OPTIONS

       -v  --version
                 Prints the version information.

       -h  --help
                 Prints a usage message.

SEE ALSO

       debtags(1).
