/usr/lib/portage/bin/etc-update, the only reference to 'using_editor' is
on line 483. Here is some context:
function do_cfg() {
...
showdiffcmd=$(echo "${diff_command}" |
sed -e "s:%file1:${ofile}:" -e "s:%file2:${file}:")
if [ "${using_editor}" == 0 ]; then
(
echo "Showing differences between ${ofile} and ${file}"
${showdiffcmd}
) | ${pager}
else
echo "Beginning of differences between ${ofile} and ${file}"
${showdiffcmd}
echo "End of differences between ${ofile} and ${file}"
fi
Basically it looks like if you have a pager set then you're 'using an
editor' otherwise it doesn't expect a pager. Seems like a redundant
config to me.
