When using equery-0.3.2-r1, listing the USE flags of multiple packages to the console works as expected: - - - # equery u openssl openssh [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2j: U I - - abi_x86_32 : 32-bit (x86) libraries + + asm : Support assembly hand optimized crypto functions (i.e. faster run time) + + bindist : Disable EC algorithms (as they seem to be patented) -- note: changes the ABI - - gmp : Add support for dev-libs/gmp (GNU MP library) - - kerberos : Add kerberos support - - rfc3779 : Enable support for RFC 3779 (X.509 Extensions for IP Addresses and AS Identifiers) - - sctp : Support for Stream Control Transmission Protocol - - sslv2 : Support for the old/insecure SSLv2 protocol -- note: not required for TLS/https + + sslv3 : Support for the old/insecure SSLv3 protocol -- note: not required for TLS/https - - static-libs : Build static versions of dynamic libraries as well - - test : Workaround to pull in packages needed to run with FEATURES=test. Portage-2.1.2 handles this internally, so don't set it in make.conf/package.use anymore + + tls-heartbeat : Enable the Heartbeat Extension in TLS and DTLS - - vanilla : Do not add extra patches which change default behaviour; DO NOT USE THIS ON A GLOBAL SCALE as the severity of the meaning changes drastically + + zlib : Add support for zlib (de)compression * Found these USE flags for net-misc/openssh-7.3_p1-r7: U I + + X : Add support for X11 - - X509 : Adds support for X.509 certificate authentication + + bindist : Disable EC/RC5 algorithms in OpenSSL for patent reasons. - - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output.

I meant: The second (redirected with -N) output should not differ in any significant way from the first (not redirected).
Note that using # equery -N u openssl openssh with no redirection results in the same output as # equery u openssl openssh
