Description:   Opened: 2007-11-05 23:43 0000 
"Equery list [-p]" command outputs a list of ebuilds on each line, along with
information regarding their location/installation and mask status. But the
output format is not documented in man page, --help output or doc directory. 

There should be sufficient sized and clear documentation for this tool.

Reproducible: Always

"... is not documented in man page"

From the man page:

list <local-opts> pkgspec
<snip>
              -p, --portage-tree also search in portage tree (/usr/portage)
<snip>

Am I mistaken here?

I should have been more clear, man page says what "equery list" or "equery list
-p" outputs. But it says nothing about the output format, for example

[I--] [ -] app-emulation/wine-0.9.46
[-P-] [M-] app-emulation/wine-0.9.41
[-P-] [ -] app-emulation/wine-0.9.45 (0)
[-P-] [M~] app-emulation/wine-0.9.47 (0)
[-P-] [M ] app-emulation/wine-9999 (0)

I can guess 'I' for installed, 'P' for portage and 'O' for overlay, although
they are not written in the doc.

But even though I looked at the ebuilds, I could not gues what various
combinations of 'M' , '-' and '~' correspond to. 

Compare this with manpage for 'eix', it documents the output in detail and it
would be good if equery had the same level of detail.
