Hi, Here is a patch that implement a new option to filter the "equery files" output. Usage is "equery files --filter=<rules> pkgspec", where <rules> is the comma separated list of elements types you want to output. Elements types can be: - "dir", "obj", "sym", "dev", "fifo": just like in portage CONTENTS files. - "path": this are directories where there was actually some files installed. Much shorter than "dir" for almost the same information. - "conf": this are configuration files of a package, based on CONFIG_PROTECT. - "cmd": this are commands provided by a package, based on your $PATH. I've wrote this because when i install a new software i don't know, i often wonder "where did it put its files", "where am i supposed to configure it", and "how do i launch it". Examples: % equery files --filter=dir galeon Searching for packages matching 'galeon'...
