I'll give you another one, and it doesn't require you to install any extra package: # cat /var/db/pkg//-/CONTENTS ;-)

That's not even counting different options that can be used for the same command. I would urge you to check into the "q" command and equery. I !think! the "q" command is part of portage. It may be part of gentoolkit tho. Just the "q" command has more than a dozen different things it does. equery can do a lot too but some say it has some "accuracy" problems at times. It works for my little simple stuff tho. Hope that gives you a little more pointers. Dale :-) :-)

If you are used to rpm, or simply prefer the format of its output, there is also the rpm-like command, "epm" and you can $ epm -ql app-portage/epm
