Package: grep-dctrl (2.1.11)

Grep Debian package information

The grep-dctrl program can answer such questions as 

  * "What is the Debian package foo?"
  * "Which version of the Debian package bar is now current?"
  * "Which Debian packages does John Doe maintain?"
  * "Which Debian packages are somehow related to the Scheme
     programming language?"
and with some help 
  * "Who maintain the essential packages of a Debian system?"
given a useful input file.

It is a specialised grep program that is meant for processing any file which has the general format of a Debian package control file. These include the dpkg available file, the dpkg status file, and the Packages files on a distribution medium (such as a Debian CD-ROM or an FTP site carrying Debian).

This package includes the specializations grep-status and grep-available, which take their input by default from the dpkg status file and the dpkg available file (updated by dselect update), respectively. The grep-available specialization is useful mainly to users of dselect.
