man portage is full of examples, such as:
package.use
Per-package USE flags. Useful for tracking local
USE flags or for enabling USE flags for certain
packages only. Perhaps you develop GTK and thus you
want documentation for it, but you don't want docu-
mentation for QT. Easy as pie my friend!
Format:
- comments begin with #
- one DEPEND atom per line with space-delimited USE flags
Example:
# turn on docs for GTK 2.x
=x11-libs/gtk+-2* doc
# disable mysql support for QT
x11-libs/qt -mysql
