equery: Search for installed packages in the Portage tree and in overlays.
$ equery list -po ${package_name}
try on your machine
This command is using the equery tool, which is a part of the Gentoo Linux package manager Portage. The "equery list" command is used to list packages that are installed on the system.
The options "-po" are used to specify the format of the output. "-p" stands for "pretend" and tells equery to display information about the package in a human-readable format. "-o" stands for "output format" and allows you to customize the output.
The "${package_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the package you want information about. You should replace it with the name of the package you are interested in.
So, when you run this command, it will display information about the specified package in a readable format based on the given output format.
