Unless I'm misunderstanding something... |

It's not an "option". It's an alias. If you have |
48 |
|
49 |
$ alias myalias="emerge --foo --bar --baz" |
50 |
|
51 |
Then to use the alias you simply type |
52 |
|
53 |
$ myalias |
54 |
|
55 |
If you don't want to use the alias, well, don't type it. I.e. |
56 |
|
57 |
$ emerge --la --di --dah |
58 |
|
59 |
or |
60 |
|
61 |
$ someotheralias |
62 |
|
63 |
Or perhaps you don't aren't understanding what shell aliases are? |
