5 If you look at the ebuild
6 ('less /usr/portage/app-admin/gamin/gamin-0.1.7.ebuild'), you'll
7 see that gamin provides the virtual fam.
8
9 $ equery depends fam
10 [ Searching for packages depending on fam... ]
11 gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.12.2
12
13 But there are several other packages that depend on fam when the fam
14 USE flag is set, among them kdelibs.
15
16 You can also do an 'emerge -pet world | less', and look under what
17 package gamin sits.

21 It is used to observe whether files have changed. Quite useful when
22 you happen to pull out files from under Kate. If you don't need it,
23 drop the fam USE flag.
