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 (default:
	     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

SEE ALSO
     dpkg(1), ssh(1)
