Sometimes the man page only serves to confuse me more. Now after I get
the command, I get it. I ran into the same thing with xset a bit ago. I
couldn't figure out how to get it to accept what I wanted so I searched
around until I found some examples. After I saw the examples, it made
sense. xset dpms 3600 3600 3600 all on one line. Who'd have thunk it?
Quote from the manpage:
use.mask
[snip description]
Format:
- comments begin with # (no inline comments)
- one USE flag per line
end quote.
You find "one USE flag per line" confusing?<shrug> =:^)
BTW, depending on your chosen pager app, the / key can often be used to
invoke a search. I believe it works that way with the default less, and
it definitely works that way with the "most" command that I use as my
pager, after seeing someone describe how much better than less it was
(color for emphasis, etc). "most" is its own emergable package. You can
then set it as your default pager by putting this in your .bashrc or the
like:
export PAGER=most
So all I did is "man portage", then /use.mask, then hit "n" a few times to
go to the next "hit" for that search. After using that to search and find
the appropriate part of the manpage, the format section was easily
spotted, containing just the answer to your question. =:^)
(BTW, I expect you know this from the various threads we've both been
involved in on the kde lists, but other readers might not. I wasn't
trying to be rude, simply give you a playful nudge in the right
direction. I hope it was taken in that spirit. =:^)
When I looked using Konsole, I didn't see that part. I used Konqueror
and found it with the search function. I did find another section so I
may have been reading the wrong thing.
I took the nudge the way it was intended. I learned a long time ago to
try to see things in a positive light until sure it is not intended that
way. Trying to put things into text is not easy. Heck, if we were face
to face talking it is hard enough. ;-) It just seems that seeing
examples is the best way for me to learn.
