DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       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 _q_c_o_n_f(1) --sshhggrrppll option. The contents of each enlisted  host  group
       entry  can be shown via the --sshhggrrpp switch. The output follows the _h_o_s_t_-
       _g_r_o_u_p format description. New host group entries  can  be  created  and
       existing  can  be  modified  via  the --aahhggrrpp, --mmhhggrrpp, --ddhhggrrpp and --??aattttrr
       options to _q_c_o_n_f(1).
