+all: |
+ Show *DEPEND, alias for \fB\-drp\fR.
+key: |
+ Advanced option to allow querying the VDB. This option overrides
+ \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-r\fR, \fB\-p\fR or \fB\-a\fR. \fI<arg>\fR can be
+ any key from Portage's VDB, e.g.\ any file from
+ var/db/pkg/<cat>/<pkg>/.
+query: |
+ Query reverse deps. This basically reverses the search to any
+ package that references \fI<arg>\fR in DEPEND, RDEPEND or PDEPEND.
+ This can be useful to find consumers of a given package, e.g.\ to
+ search for packages that have \fIlogwatch\fR in their DEPEND.
+name-only: |
+ Only show category/package, instead of category/package-version.
+format: |
+ Pretty-print DEPEND declaration to be used in an ebuild. This
+ option initiates a very different mode of operation. Instead of
+ printing searching through packages, it constructs a multi-line
+ statement in with shell syntax, to be used in an ebuild. Each
+ argument is turned into a separate DEPEND variable declaration. You
+ need to quote dependency strings in order for them to be printed as
+ a single dependency declaration. When used with the \fB\-q\fR
+ option, only the pretty-printed dependency declaration is printed,
+ e.g.\ the DEPEND= part is skipped.
+verbose: |
+ When in reverse dep mode, print the package or packages that matched
+ the query from the dependency line being searched. This includes
+ specifiers and versions.
+quiet: Suppress DEPEND= output for \fB\-f\fR.
