Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

apropos -e HOST

   * What was the outcome of this action?

arping (8)           - send ARP REQUEST to a neighbour host
...

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Only lines with verbatim "HOST" lines

(The option -e used for an "exact" search as a demostration.)
