See summary. Also I miss information about some of the executables of portage;
The output "xpak: expecting three arguments." doesn't help really. Another
example is "tbz2tool: four arguments expected".. (?)

Reproducible: Always

Using the xpak module for python is easier to figure out.
$ python
> import xpak
> xpak.decompose(...)

The source is in /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/xpak.py


The other tools are a little confusing. See their use in ebuild.sh
and portage.py
