Yes it is, I guess that's why it has a man page and ebuild.sh doesn't. However, in normal use of a Gentoo system, it shouldn't be needed. However, it can come in handy if you have to abort a lengthy ebuild and don't want to start over. -- Neil Bothwick A man needs a mistress - just to break the monogamy
