    NAME
         hostgroup - host group entry file format

    DESCRIPTION
         A host group entry is used to merge host  names  to  groups.
         Each   host   group  entry  file defines one group. Inside a
         group definition file you  can  also  reference  to  groups.
         These  groups are called subgroups. A subgroup is referenced
         by the sign "@" as first character of the name.

         A list of currently configured host  group  entries  can  be
         displayed  via  the qconf(1) -shgrpl option. The contents of
         each enlisted host group entry can be shown via  the  -shgrp
         switch. The output follows the hostgroup format description.
         New host group entries can be created and  existing  can  be
         modified  via  the -ahgrp, -mhgrp, -dhgrp and -?attr options
         to qconf(1).

    FORMAT
         A host group entry contains following parameters:

      group_name keyword
         The group_name keyword defines the  host  group  name.  Host
         group names have to begin with a '@' character.

      hostlist
         The name of all hosts and host groups which are  now  member
         of the group specified with group_name. If The first charac-
         ter of the hostname is a "@" sign the name is used to refer-
         ence  a  hostgroup(5)  which  is  taken as sub group of this
         group. Default for this parameter is NONE

    EXAMPLE
         This is a typical host group entry:

         group_name @bigMachines

         hostlist @solaris64 @solaris32 fangorn balrog

         The entry will define a new host group called  @bigMachines.
         In  this  host  group  are  the host fangorn, balrog and all
         members of the host groups @solaris64 and @solaris32.
