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).
