Emerging Flags

Some of the handy flags you will use when working with emerge:

-a (--ask) -- Ask for Yes/No verification.

-p (--pretend) -- Just show what would happen. Don't really do it, though.

-u (--update) -- Check for updated packages.

-D (--deep) -- Check dependencies, too.

-N (--newuse) -- Recalculate based on new USE flags.

-v (--verbose) -- Show USE flags and file sizes, etc.

--nospinner -- Don't print the twirly while thinking. It eats my bandwidth.

-1 (--oneshot) -- Don't record this in world.

-t (--tree) -- Show the whole dependency tree.
