.SH NAME
q \- invoke a portage utility applet
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B q
\fI<applet> <args> \fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I q
is a collection of utilities for use with Gentoo systems regarding
installed and available packages.
.P
After version 0.74 of portage-utils, the cache functionality was removed
in favour of using various trees directly, and optionally the caches
therein.  As such the \fB-r\fR and \fB-m\fR options were removed.  It is
no longer necessary to initialise the cache at any time.
