Example one:

Example two:

To check the integrity of all installed packages, enter:

Use -v to get a shell-compatible and formatted dependency output list, like found in ebuilds.

To list all of the installed packages that depend on a package use the -Q option.

The -J option will limit the search to installed packages. -N will print the atom instead of the filename.

To display the description of a USE-flag, the -D option can be used. This can be combined with the -p option, which takes an atom name as argument, to list all USE-flags for the given atom.

Install binary package (qmerge)

qmerge can quickly install binary packages (binpkgs):

[R] sys-apps/sed-4.8

Create or manipulate binary package (qpkg)

qpkg is used to create or clean up Gentoo binary packages.

List the descriptions of every package in the cache

user $ qsearch --all .

Regex search package basenames

user $ qsearch --search <regex>

user $ qsearch --homepage gentoo.org

Show repository the ebuild originates from

user $ qsearch --repo gentoo

Print matched atom using given format string

user $ qsearch --format <arg>

Set the ROOT env va

user $ qsearch --root <arg>

Defining atom fields for applet commands

Certain q applet commands / argument combinations (such as qsearch --format ) mention the use of atom formatting. The defintion of this formatting can be found on the qatom man page under the --format ( -F ) argument:
