Description

dwww-quickfind  is  part  of the dwww package, which provides access to on-line documentation on a Debian
       system via WWW.

       dwww-quickfind searches for a package or program named in argument using the database file  dbfile.   The
       output  consists of names of packages installed in the system, which contain given program, or which name
       is same as given in argument Each package name is printed in a separate line. Each package  name  can  be
       optionally  followed  by a colon and a space-separated list of names of related packages (i.e. built from
       the same source package).

       If used with --build, dwww-quickfind builds programs database and stores it in the dbfile, basing on data
       passed on standard input.  This is used internally by dwww-refresh-cache(8).
