The /etc/portage/profile/package.use.mask file contains per-package USE flag masks.

Note
In a cascading profile setup, you can remove USE flags in children profiles which were added by parent profiles by prefixing the flag with a - (minus sign).

Format

  • Comments begin with # (no inline comments).
  • One DEPEND atom per line with space-delimited USE flags.

Example
