       adapted for a new version by Philipp Wesche <phi1ipp@yahoo.com>

Jonathan Wiltshire                                   0.29.1                                            whohas(1)

Description

       whohas  is  a  command  line  tool  to query package lists from the Arch, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mageia,
       Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware, Source Mage, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Fink, MacPorts  and  Cygwin
       distributions.

Files

       whohas uses various files in ~/.whohas to cache package lists for some distributions.

Name

       whohas - find packages in various distributions' repositories

Options

--no-threads
              Don't use multiple threads to query package lists (will be much slower)

       --shallow
              Limit  to  one  call  per  server.  Faster, but loses some information, typically package size and
              release date.

       --strict
              List only those packages that have exactly pkgname as their name.

       -dDist1[,Dist2[,Dist3etc.]]
              Queries only for packages for the listed distributions. Recognised values for Dist1,  Dist2,  etc.
              are  "archlinux", "cygwin", "debian", "fedora", "fink", "freebsd", "gentoo", "mageia", "mandriva",
              "macports", "netbsd", "openbsd", "opensuse", "slackware", "sourcemage", and "ubuntu".

       pkgname
              Package name to query for
