USE flag descriptions can be found in /usr/portage/profiles. There are two files: /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc (for global USE flags), and /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc (for local USE flags relevant to individual packages). You can of course search/grep normally through these files, but I find it easier to nick an alias that someone on the list provided, and add it to ~/.bashrc: alias useflag='grep /usr/portage/profiles/use.*desc -e' which enables me to do this (after re-sourcing ~/.bashrc, which I also have an alias to do :-) ): di 10/18/05 15:39 ~ motub-> useflag vim-with-x /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:app-editors/vim:vim-with-x - Linking console vim against X11 libraries to enable title and clipboard features in xterm And now I know what it does, instead of guessing ;-) .
