Flagedit allows you to edit the use flags or the keywords for a particular
ebuild, or for the whole system. a backup is done for each modified file, named
file.old.

Usage: flagedit [PACKAGE] [ACTIONS | -- KEYWORD_ACTIONS] [ OPTIONS ]

Examples:

flagedit net-im/amsn --show shows the use flag set for net-im/amsn
flagedit net-im/amsn +gnome adds the gnome use flag to net-im/amsn
flagedit net-im/amsn -kde +xmms adds the xmms use flag and set the -kde one
flagedit net-im/amsn %kde reset the kde use flag (it's removed from the line)

flagedit %kde reset the global use flag (it's removed in make.conf)
flagedit +gnome -qt add gnome and -qt in make.conf

flagedit net-im/amsn -- %x86 reset the x86 keyword for net-im/amsn
flagedit net-im/amsn -- +~ppc +~x86 adds the ~ppc and ~x86 keywords for net-im/amsn
flagedit net-im/amsn -- % resets the keywords for this package
flagedit -- +~x86 sets ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to "~x86" in /etc/make.conf

You can mix the flags and keywords :

flagedit net-im/amsn +gnome -- +~x86

flagedit will edit the maine USE flags (in make.conf), or the main
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS (in make.conf)

+FLAG enable the FLAG. Example : +sse
-FLAG disable the FLAG. Example : -sse
%FLAG reset the FLAG to default. Example : %sse
% reset the whole flags of PACKAGE to default. In this case, PACKAGE is not optional

+KEYWORD enable the keyword. Example : +x86
-KEYWORD disable the KEYWORD. Example : -~x86
%KEYWORD reset the KEYWORD to default. Example : %x86
