Eix is faster for such things. You can format the output as you need it. Does the following do what you want? eix -I --format '\n\n\n\n' rxvt-unicode urs

I'm sure there are cleverer options to use with eix, so it only prints the database fields you want, but the above has served most of my needs well. Install app-portage/ eix, then run eix-update and from then on you can use eix-sync to sync portage and/or overlays with a mirror and search for the package you want. rxvt-unicode is a terminal emulator, like xterm, konsole, terminology, xfce4- terminal , etc. which you use within your xsession, instead of having to switch over to a tty.

[gentoo-user] query ebuild fields
Is there a command to show the fields like DESCRIPTION and HOMEPAGE from an installed ebuild, or is this one of the annoying gaps in the framework that must be (and can be) trivially worked around? Example: I have installed x11-terms/rxvt-unicode. I don't know what it is (no, really! :-P ) and I sure as h*ll don't know the exact version number I have. I want to visit the upstream website to learn more. I know the following command will mostly do it, but it will occassionally show too much and scroll the relevant result off the screen. Also, being a search, it is much slower than necessary. emerge --search --quiet n x11-terms/rxvt-unicode -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
