1	Hi,
2
3	I'm writing a script and need to find out if a specified ebuild is masked.
4	Currently I can read KEYWORDS from the ebuild, but how do I automatically
5	read packages.mask? Is there a function in portage. I'm writing a bash
6	script and don't know any python so can't get it out of portage myself - any
7	ideas?

9	TIA
