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).
