Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-07-08 04:03:16 UTC
doing `emerge --info <pkg>` should run the pkg_info() function in the installed ebuild in vdb ... purpose is to query specific information about a package that only that package would be able to glean

for example, sys-libs/glibc would have a function like:
pkg_info() {
    /lib/libc.so.6
}
