Ah, I see.
[502] [EMAIL PROTECTED] emerge --help | grep -- -B
--buildpkgonly (-B short option)

When I want to know about command-line options, I generally check
--help and then read the man page if I can't find what I want. With
emerge, however, I've never really bothered with --help because the
output is so damned long. Isn't that what man pages are for in the
first place? --help should be, in my opinion, the succinct form.
