 Neither way appears to have an effect on
 emerge -vuDNp tcpdump

 try:
 net-analyzer/tcpdump -samba

It works ... thanks .. I was confused with this info which is
apparently really about something else

 Format:
 - comments begin with #

 Example:
 app-editors/nano:justify - Toggles the justify
 option
 dev-libs/DirectFB:fusion - Adds Multi Application

 games-emulation/xmess:net - Adds network support

To be fair it also shows the syntax you showed in another section.

That's the syntax for ${PORTDIR}/profiles/use*, which documents what USE 
FLAGS are intended for. The gentoo devs edit those files when they 
add/update flags to the system.

:-) Documentation - wonderful stuff. If you find the right chapter in 
the right document, that it.
