=head1 NAME
dgrep, degrep, dfgrep, dzgrep -- grep through files belonging to an installed Debian package
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<dgrep> [I<most grep options>] I<pattern> I<package>...
B<dgrep> B<--help>
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<dgrep> invokes grep(1) on each file in one or more installed Debian
packages.
It passes the I<package> argument(s) to dglob(1) to retrieve a list of files
in those packages. You can use POSIX regular expressions for the package
names.
If B<dgrep> is invoked as B<degrep>, B<dfgrep> or B<dzgrep> then egrep(1),
fgrep(1) or zgrep(1) is used instead of B<grep>.
=head1 OPTIONS
B<dgrep> supports most of grep(1)'s options. Please refer to your
B<grep> documentation (i.e. the manpage or the texinfo manual) for
a complete listing. Only a few options are excluded because they do not
conform with the intended behaviour, see the list below.
=head2 Options of grep that are not supported by dgrep
=over 4
=item B<-r>, B<--recursive>, B<-d> I<recurse>, B<--directories>=I<recurse>
=item B<-d> I<read>, B<--directories>=I<read>
B<dgrep> searches only in the "normal" files of a package. It skips all
directories and symlinks. Therefor the options of
grep that are specific to directories are not supported.
