    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 character of the hostname is a "@" sign the  name
              is  used  to reference 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.
