My answer to your question: ufed This program seems very little known around the list. It doesn't give you more detail than euse, but it shows you what is available in an easy to view (and edit!) list. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.

I use
$ equery u cat/pkg
It list the useflags and what the metadata.xml of the package says
about each of them, plus highlights the active ones if you have the
package already merged.

[gentoo-user] flag details
Hello,
So, I use euse to read aobut flags. Sometimes the same flag has slightly,
but significantly different meanings depending on the packages it
is use on. A tool with perhaps more detail or that parse the ebuild/sources
for even greater detail information?
I also use Ciaran's old (filter)script on flags:
explainuseflag(){ sed -ne "s,^\([^ ]*:\)\?$1 - ,,p" $(portageq
portdir)/profiles/use.{,local.}desc; }
Which is due for updating. If does a nice job of filtering out the
package version details, which I do not need most of the time.
Suggested fixes to Ciarans old filter quickie I use from by bashrc?
Are there any more detailed tools, even gui based tools, for
reading about the details of what a flag does on a given package
or information related to compile-time or run-time settings on a
given code (but not including looking at the sources, I know I can
do that)?
(Gmane on gentoo user is working again from a browser window (yea).
Sorry for the recent noisy_posts.
curiously,
James
