FWIW, there's also equery uses (or just equery u), part of gentoolkit |
| 13 |
along with euse. But you run equery uses against a specific package, so |
| 14 |
"equery u portage" for instance. Where USE flags have a package-specific |
| 15 |
meaning, it's printed, and I've come to prefer equery u's output to euse - |
| 16 |
i's. |
| 17 |
|

FWIW(2), I'd suggest reading the equery manpage and getting familiar with |
| 19 |
all of its actions. At least here, I find it QUITE a useful command. =:^) |

There's also portage-utils and I believe a few other alternatives. |
| 22 |
Personally, I prefer equery, but I have portage-utils installed, as I'll |
| 23 |
see an occasional post-install message recommending a query using portage- |
| 24 |
utils, and it's easier to just have it installed than it is to figure out |
| 25 |
exactly what the query does and translate it to a equery. |
